Default Rear Disk conversion

Well I found a 95 mustang v6 and grabbed the rotors, and calipers anti-moan brackets, and dust shields. I couldnt grap the rest because I didnt have the tools but when I go back (if its still there) what else should I grab besides the caliper brackets,andbrake lines (rubber and hard lines). Also the master cylinder is still on the car, should I grab that aswell? Thanks.

P.S. Im going to just order new axels because I dont trust the junk hard ones. Which ones would be good to buy?

I would get the master and double check what you might need for the parking brakes, that is where I messed up on my conversion and when I went back the car had gone to the crusher had to manufacture my own ends[:@]. Why not use the axles? As long as the car was not hit in the rear and hit the rearend they should be fine for what you will most likely put to them[&:].

Yeah It wasnt hit in the back. I guess I could still use them. They just have that speed sensor or what not on them and I wasnt sure if they would still work.

They will still work that speed sensor stuff is just for the anti-lock brake system since your car isn't equipped with that system it will not effect you at all, my car has those on the front and rear too.

7.5 and 8.8 axles are the same. As for the length they will be a bit longer because they are for the disc brakes, just like the ones I used from the LSC.
