Question about rear disc and 5 lug.........

[87'GTstang]

Say if a fox of the 87-93' years was to have a rear disc conversion, say the SSBC setup that uses the 87'-88' TC setup, with it still installed, is there any way for future use of a 5 lug conversion, or will the current rear disc brakes not work?

There is a 5 lug, 10.5" vented rear disc rotor that fits the TC rear end if you use 94-96 Mustang axles. I think it is a Lincoln part, but I don't know for sure.

No, no and NO there.

There are no 5 lug rotors for the TC axle setup. Check with http://www.discbrakesrus.com to see if they came out with anything.

What you have to do if you are using the stock axle brackets is get the 94-98 axles and then redrill the stock TC rotors to the 5x4.5" bolt pattern.
If you are using the stock length axles, then get the Ranger axles and do the same redrill of the rotor.

Some time ago a stangnetter posted a picture of a 10.5" vented 5 lug rotor he got from the junkyard. I believe he said something about a Lincoln. I did some searching and came up with 86 Lincoln town car, which uses a 5 lug Raybestos 6001 rotor. However, I do not have any dimensions available. Maybe one of the auto parts guys can chase this rabbit.
