So Today,......I set out determined to start the conversion process by robbing a donor car of it's spindles and rotors. Car was up in the air, tires were off, I had it all off in under 45 minutes, here's your 125.00 sir, Done. If the rest of the stuff was as easy as that, then there'd be no reason for me to post this. ( Not that there ever is a reason for me to post anything)
I've read everywhere where everybody that has converted their fox brakes over to SN95 stuff that the rotors were cheap ( $50.00 ea.) I agree, the rotors I found were cheap 51.99 ea.
The same for the calipers, equally inexpensive, 50-60.00 for refurb pieces. Uhhhh where? You can find the "calipers" for 50.00, but the caliper bracket?.........NOT.
I spent the better part of 4-6 hours today web surfing, and parts store haunting till I was sick of repeating myself. Autozone, Advance, Oreillys, Napa: Rotors? (ck), Calipers? ( some yes, some no) But the bracket to hold the caliper the additional 2" off the spindle? NO, NO, NO, NO!
I found that LRS had a brand new set of loaded calipers w/ brackets for only 299.00
I found a used set w/ rotors from a "Mustang" yard for the same 299.00.
I found A refurb Caliper/bkt assy from Summit supplied by A1 Cardone At 44.99 (Left side only)
I Found the same Assy from CJ pony Parts from the same supplier for 114.00 ( allow 5-7 days for delivery, and they don't know that there is only a left side only left @ A1 cardone. ( That is until after you place the order, they order from cardone and they send you a backorder notice via email))
So maybe some of you guys have a " Cobra Caliper bracket hiding place", or know of a supplier that bought a bazillion of them and has them in stock ( Both of them) please tell me where they're hiding.
I go through this process every time I make a modification, Shock, Resistance, Acceptance.
WHAT ! 299.00? I Aint payin' 299.00!, Oh what the hell,... at least I'll be done and have them by Wednesday.
