8.8 rearend disk brake question

[sunman]

I've installed 5 lug axles in my 86 Mustang 8.8 rearend and am using the disc brakes off of a 86 Mustang SVO 7.5 rearend, which was a 5 lug from Ford. Is there a caliper bracket off of another Ford or Lincoln that will work? The 7.5 bracket does not work. Do I need to make them? Any info welcomed. Thanks,Sunman.

i know mike fort'e from forte's parts connection sells them, also if you go to the ffr forum and look under advertisers there is a company called diskbrakesrus they sell them also, i hope that helps.

Check into the \\ 1985 Full size lincoln town car rear, and the 1987-88 Ford thunderbird turbo coupe rear.

That should be the right ones.

Thanks for the help. I'm still preping parts and have not started car build yet but I've stopped everything to read every thread listed. You guys are great. Manual? Don't need no stinking manual!!!

I found out the hard way that an 8.8 from a 94 mustang was wider than the Fox body 86-93 mustang. I read an article in a Ford magazine that told about a way to convert the 94 disc set up to work in the earlier mustangs. Richard Oben @Northracecars.com 816-436-1610 sells brackets and hardware to bolt the calipers right up.

Give Richard Oben at Northracecars.com a call. His company makes brackets to convert one model 8.8 rear to anothers calipers. Phone no. is 1-816-436-1610. He got me the parts needed to convert a 94 mustang with disc brakes to the width of a fox body mustang. (86-93)

Thanks for the help. I'll call them on Monday. I haven't bought anything yet and I'll update when I finish caliper mount.

Merry Christmas and God Bless
