I've found several companies that offer caliper brackets that mount Cobra rear brake calipers to the rear IRS spindle. Do you think that this bracket would properly space a normal Thunderbird rear caliper to fit a 11.65 cobra rotor. What I'm trying to say is, could I use my existing rear caliper and redrilled 11.65 cobra rotor with their bracket. Or would that put the Thunderbird caliper in the wrong spot, say, to far forward, not high enough, in too close, out to far...etc.
Something else I found:
Just an FYI, John is correct in the statement that all calipers for 94 up mustangs are the same. The LOADED ones are different. The difference is the intermediate bracket, the one the caliper slides in is wider to accept the wider vented rotor. The groove is cut wider so the rotor does not hit the caliper bracket. In review there are 3 parts to the caliper assembly for the rear. From the Axle/knuckle in order:
1,Caliper mounting bracket: part of the knuckle or bolted the rear housing on a live axle
2, Intermediate bracket: This part is what holds the pads in place forward and back. It is also what the caliper mounts slides onto.
3, Caliper itself only function to squeeze pads.
Direct bolt on but a little high on the price:
