David,
The new FFR's are going to a "complete kit" option so no donor parts. As it is now, I think most FFR builders are using very few donor parts anyway, as the old 87-93 Mustangs are getting fewer and in barely acceptable condition to reuse the parts.

I would think the rears would be a piece of cake with the rear hubs simply turned to press into the rear 8.8 Knuckles like the T-bird and 95 Mustang Cobra hubs do. Of course, it would require a female spline instead of the male end you are using in your pic.

The fronts could go either way- either design a hub to fit the bearing set up on the 94-95 spindles, or make a complete upright with brake rotor mounting with the Wilwood set up but with the 94-95 Mustang geometry. The other FFR parts- control arms, etc.... would then fit right up with your new parts and you would have a new customer base. I think I would even look into this for my scratch build if the price is right.

Bob
