mockup of Ultrastang SN-95 rear disc kit

[LMan]

mocked these up last week, thought Id post a pic while the car is still getting the cage installed:

Since then, Ive bent/plumbed the rear hardline and so on. I'll post a few more if I can find the camera again in my rat's nest The brackets and calipers fit perfectly.


Im also taking pre-orders on my snazzy, custom-made axle housing support stands. Guaranteed to take 2 seconds off your lap times

yeah but how many laps can you get out of them?

Is there an extra charge for the shaving and heat cycling?

not too many more outta that set. Toyos aren't the stickiest thing out there, but they do wear well.

Are you planning on using the splash guards? Also, have you worked out adapting the brake lines yet?

I won't make any more jokes about your "workstands" .

What's it going to cost you when it's all said and done ?

Looks good LMan. I'm doing the same on my 69. No splash shields for me although if I had them I would likely run them. I should have under $400 for my setup including the slot rotors and braided hoses. I also fabbed a simple emergency brake mount tab I think will work.

Nope, car is track-only. I plan to use the splash-guard bracket provisions to mount brake-duct hoses.

Also, have you worked out adapting the brake lines yet?

Already installed. Ultrastang gives all the details in his instructions...basically, 95-96 Mustang GT rear brake hoses and a pair of muffler clamps. Simple and effective, two qualities I am fond of.

I'll post some pics of that in the next day or two.

Ah, go ahead! I started it..... I pick on other folks here (all in fun), its only fair I get poked also

Well, Im kinda a cheater cuz I got the calipers for only 25.00 I wouldnt expect every set to be that cheap but they are widely available with all the late-model Mustang sTuNNa bOYz taking them off to 'upgrade' to Cobra rear discs....

but otherwise

Ultrastang kit 150.00
hoses/clamps/line/fittings ~35.00 total
--------------------------
total 210.00


time- cpl of hours to mount calipers and bend a little tubing. I was slow since there was a good college football game on that afternoon

Nice! I have a restomod buddy who's doing the Ultrastang kit for a 'vert in his shop...I will pass along the e-brake info to him since he was asking me about it yesterday (Im not using an e-brake so I couldnt help him).

 

[ultrastang]

First off, thanks to you guys for using my setup when you could have used anyone else's. I appreciate your business.

Secondly, you don't have to use the splash shields. I designed the brackets to be able to mount them if the installer so wished. The shields would be more important on a vehicle that's driven on the street than the track --and besides that, the shields are less than $11.00 each, brand new from Ford, so they are very cheap if you do install them.

If you do not connect up the parking brakes, I would suggest getting underneath your car every few months and manually actuating the parking brake mechanisms through several cycles to keep the pistons adjusted to compensate for pad wear.

I used the stock '94/'95 V6/GT rear caliper hoses. I used a heavy-duty 360-degree muffler clamp to attach the bracket of the hose to the housing's axle tube:

The photo for this display setup shows the original regular muffler clamp I used to mount the brake hose, before I switched to the 360-degree type clamp in the link above.

That's hilarious how you have the case of beer standing nicely in the background!

Ha ha! Actually, the 360-degree clamps were less than $2.00 ea., so I don't guess that makes me too high of a roller. --They just look a lot better than the regular style muffler clamps I started with.

I see you left the "tail" on your brake hose brackets. I cut them off on the hoses I was "experimenting" with, during the time I was trying to figure all the modifications out. http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/1922/cobrabrakehosemodtailgt3.jpg

I picked up the "Ultrastang" logos this morning from the graphics shop. I didn't realize the magnetic backing was going to be white, so obviously the white logos I had made wouldn't show up on the white magnetic backing. But, here's the red logo on the magnetic backing. http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/4639/ultrastanglogolm2.jpg


I'll send you a pair of red logos on the magnetic backing along with a pair of white logos without the backing. --If you just wanted to put the white logos on the windows/side glass, then that would show up and wouldn't be stuck directly to the body. Either way, you can decide which works better for you.

that's a plan I'll see what looks better and post some pics when the car gets back from the shop

This taken just a few minutes ago...I put one of the white logo stickers on my '03 Mach 1's rear glass.

I like how those brackets are set up for the soft lines to the calipers, but I'm still stuck on one part: How do you connect the soft line from the axle to the hard line on the chassis? Aren't the late model lines a different thread pitch?

The threads on the '94/'95 SN-95 caliper hoses are for 7/16"-24 inverted flare fittings --not bubble flare.

The junction block, where the hard line from the chassis ties into the block that splits off to the calipers, is also 7/16"-24. (or, at least it is on my '68 with the '80 Monarch 9-inch rear end I have).
