I heard of people that did and didnt have fitment issues with the '93 cobra booster. I saw that it was about 50/50 in the LMR review section. The people that got it to fit without banging the strut tower said to just take your time and remove the wiper motor, can anyone verify this?. If you are buying new, get the 1993 Cobra booster.
Would a flat file work for the studs? Well, how much had to come off?I did trim the studs down a tad.
It sounds very do-able! Thanks!!! I actually have a 2nd hand tap and die set. My dad was diesel mech for a while, so I started to inherit the tools he dont use anymore.It's been a while, so not sure. Maybe just 1/4" or so? I used a hacksaw and then ran a die over the thread to clean up the threads.
How much I took off is unknown. When you remove the old one, you can see how much stud protrudes past the nut

Thanks. Well, this is my first one. I figured that hoses to a fabricated hard line would be better ?? Dunno.You did a bang up job G00nies, but i'm surprised you used rubber lines!
Just completed bleeding the system to ensure no leaks, then gonna swap the master booster and prop valve and flare some lines. More pics to come...Best pedal feel would be hard line all the way to the brakes, but in the front that's impossible, so stainless steel braided is the way to go so you don't end up with a squishy pedal feel(expanding rubber on hard brakes). Just a preference really, depends on what your goals are for the car.
But again, great job, looks real nice!
about to do 4 Lug rear disc under stock 10 holes
I am trying to keep the stock appearance of my car and want rear disks and am about to convert using essentially:
North Racecars brackets (allow 1993 Cobra/TC parts with stock 5.0 axles...keeps offset where it should be)
http://www.northracecars.com/brackets.jpg
Stock 1993 Cobra parts (either Raybestos or Ford, I have the part #s at home)
Booster (Raybestos)
Master Cylinder (Raybestos)
Emergency brake cables (Raybestos)
Calipers (Cardone Reman Ford units)
Pads (Ford)
Rotors (New Ford, now obsolete. I just had them cryo treated as well
Rear brake lines (Ford, used)
Thats it for the bolt is stuff. Don't forget you will need a proportioning valve:
I will be using a wilwood BPV-1
and to use a 1993 Cobra MC in a regular Fox you will need a Master Cylinder adapter kit, I will be using Maximum MotorSports MMBAK-3
and the emergency brake handle needs to be modified. I forget how. I bought a NOS one and sent it to someone on eBay and for $25 he modified the handle. I don't know exactly what needs to be done...but I know it is important.
Hey , do you happen to have the part number for the brake booster. I wanna order one from auto zone and I’m asked “Need to know diaphragm diameter. It's 7.250 or 8.750” , would you happen to know or have the part number?
Beautiful. Thank you!!If you are looking up parts for a 1993 cobra, it's the larger of the two. For some reason the standard 5.0 booster also comes up. You want the bigger diameter one
