Rear Brake Question - 93 SSP

[MOstang]

Hello,

Wanted to float a question out for some feedback just to make sure that I'm headed down the correct path.

Am I correct that 93 Mustangs brakes in stock form had rear "drum" brakes as opposed to "disc"?

I had my 93 Missouri State Highway Patrol SSP 5 speed in the shop to have the heater core replaced and parking brake taken a look at as it was no longer holding the car when parked on an incline. Evidently the cable needs to be replaced on the parking brake, but they weren't able to find one from their aftermarket suppliers (supposedly the part is obsolete now).

Looking myself on-line it took me till about the 5th suppliers catalog that I looked, but Year One has the cable available for both 93's with "drum" brakes and 93's with "disc" brakes. My brakes are stock and I'm pretty sure it's the "drum" ones I need, but just wanted to solicit some input before ordering.

Thanks for your feedback.

I believe 93 Cobra's had rear disc. Doug

Rear drums on all but cobra till 1993.

5.0 resto should have them, if not there are plenty of 4 and 6 banger cars in the bone yards , same cable

Thanks for all your feedback. Just to be sure I'm understanding correctly...93 SVT Cobra had disc and all other 93's had drum brakes in rear? Thanks again.

Correct. The only factory fox bodies to come equiped with rear disc were the '93 Cobra and the '84-86 SVO's.

This is great feedback...thanks everyone for your help.

Sorry...one more question on this one.

Year One has 2 different rear parking brake cables for 93 Mustangs with rear drum brakes - a 67" cable and a 70" cable. Anyone know which size is the one that I will need?

They indicate the 67" one is for 90-93 Mustangs with rear drum brakes and 83-89 models except SVO's. Indicate 70" one is for 93 Mustang models with rear drum brakes. If I was a guessing person would try the 70" one but would rather not guess.

I didn't find the rear cables at 5.0 Resto, just the short cable that connects the two rear cables to the park brake handle.

Thanks for your feedback.

I have a 93' LX Im going to be striping for parts soon at a friends junk yard I can pull them off for you, they wont charge me much for them and I can mail them to you. I have a 93 Cobra disc rear on my SSP, it has limited slip and 3:27 gear ratio, it was an easy swap with no mods they are hard to find

Hi John - Thanks for your offer...but I'm unfortunately going to need to take a pass though.

I have already purchased 2 new cables from Year One that are being shipped to me. For anyone who is curious the correct part is going to be two (2) 70" cables for rear drum parking brake. Total for both of these with shipping from Year One ends up being about $78.

Thanks again for offering John.
