Hey guys
I've got my friend who made the rear caliper relocation brackets for the Cobra brakes on my SC, making up some more sets.
These are brackets made from the plans off Doug Fraleigh's site, http://home.comcast.net/~dlfraleigh/Article.html . Pretty straightfoward design, they have worked well for two years on my SC, and that's with some open-track days on race tires stressing the brakes too.
I'm not looking to make my fortune from these. These are just to provide an item to fellow MN-12 owners wanting to do the Cobra brake upgrade, that do not have access to a person or a shop who can do the fabrication.
The price for 2006 is $80 US for the pair, with the needed hardware, including shipping in the lower 48. E-mail or private message me if you're interested ... fastedn2001@yahoo.ca Extra $5 for air mail. Price has gone up $5 this year because of the strength of the Canadian dollar vs. the U.S. greenback.
We also looking have available centering rings for the rotors, for people who don't want to change to the Mustang hubs with 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern ... there is a size difference in the diameter of the T-Bird hub face compared to the hub hole on the Mustang rotors. $25 for the pair when purchased with the brackets.
PLEASE NOTE ... people who have purchased these brackets, and prospective buyers. If you have the original rear calipers on an 89 - 92 car, it is important to make sure that you DO NOT let the brake pads wear down excessively when running those calipers over the Cobra rotors. Due to the difference in thickness between the early MN-12 rear rotors, compared to the later MN-12 and Cobra rotors, the potential exists for the caliper piston to come out of the housing bore, creating a severe loss of fluid, if the pad material becomes too thin. My apologies for not being aware of this sooner, it was just brought to my attention by Richard at North Race Cars, who produce brake adapters for various Ford applications.
cheers,
