Hey guys, decided to keep my 1989 GT and do some mods. I picked up a full 5 lug conversion kit today, all new Ford Axles, Spindles, bearings, lower ball joint spacer, shields, cables, hoses, rotors calipers and pads and all bolts. Everything except for the bigger Master Cylinder is there for $600, I think I got an excellent deal. So before I start tearing things apart, I will be...

-Painting the calipers and spindles(high temp paint)
-Order Cobra Master Cylinder, lines with proportioning valve and brake fluid.
-Also will order new bearings and seals.

Is there anything I am missing??

thanks!
Ralph

It fits. You can make the holes through the firewall a little larger and that will help it slide in. I also usually take off the windshield wiper motor to give me a little extra room to work.

93 Cobra booster has the same stud pattern and thread pitch as 87-93, but any 94-95 booster will fit as well with some minor tweaking
