WTB: 85/86 Front Brake Set-Up
I have 87-up brakes on my SSP (done by a previous owner), so the stock steel wheels will not clear the calipers (running 10-holes currently). I need everything to put the front brakes back to stock configuration.

somebody school me here.
Will the front brake setup on a 1986 6 cylinder car work for you or are they different? If they will work I have a donor car from Georgia that we can rob everything from. My 85 and 86 still retain their original hardware so I will not need this stuff. Problem is I have not layed eyes on it to see what condition it is all in. |
The 86 six cylinder is the same as the other models, as are the front brakes from 83 1/2 through the intro of the 87 V8 improved brakes. In 83 1/2 there was a change to the mounting of the pads, thats when the pins / bolts were used to retain the outside pad and that cointinued on through 93. In a nut shell, the parts from a 87-93 4 cylinder will be a direct swap as will all fox mustangs prior to 87, with the exception of attachment mentioned earlier on the 83 1/2 back. Sorry for disertation, but wanted you to have the info for your junkyard adventures.

ok great. I also have calipers and rotors from a 90 4 cyl car sitting on the shelf.
Bill lemme know if you are interested in any of it. |

Good info, Ron. Will he need the spindles and struts, too? I think the newer cars were different. |
The spindles will have to be changed if they are from an 87-93 V8 car, Ford used a different bearing config and larger diameter rotor, however the 87-93 4cylinder spindle will interchange with the cars 86 and back to 83 1/2. For the struts, if I'm not mistaken all the after market suppliers like monroe and so forth use the same structural design of the lower strut spindle attach and include 1/8 inch spacers to accomodate for the differences.

That's what I thought. Different master cylinder as well.
Jim, hope you can hook him up with all of that. |
OK guys! I need some wise counsel. After posting a similar WTB ad on FEP, I was contacted by a member there who says he has the parts I need and he lives close by. He said I can get the calipers and rotors (and bearings) new, which I don't mind doing when it comes to brakes. The problem is he said make him an offer. So what would be a fair offer in your collective opinion?
|
That's a tough one. What all does he have?
|
Spindles, heat shields. He'll let me have the used calipers and rotors too. Am I missing anything else?
