RE: help!!!!! serious question concerning brakes
Here's a link to a picture of the left (driver's side) brake caliper on my Mustang. There are no visible numbers. The numbers are most likely on the back. The rears are substantially different in appearance.

Hope that helps. Sunday is a bad day if you need to contact a Ford dealers parts department. You might try Pep Boys, Auto Zone, or one of those outfits who have OME catalogs.

RE: help!!!!! serious question concerning brakes
There may also be torque specs for the caliper mounting bolts. You may want to check this out with your dealer, or invest in a Mustang shop manual, not the after market ones, but the one from Ford. Price will be somewhere around $170, but it's worth it if you are really going to be digging into your Mustang. There is also a parts catalog for about the same amount, which can save you some grief as well.
