Default Rear Disc Brake Conversion Done *PICS*

this was a kit that i bought off of a freind for $300. it was from ssbc and the same kit was just in the mustang and fast fords or 5.0 mustang magazine for $1700. i ended up having $500 in the kit with parts and tools. I had to order e-brake cables from ssbc for $95, 5 lug sn95 rotors for $42, $68 for an adjustable proportioning valve, gear oil and differential gasket. i already had a 95 master cylinder. i didnt use the svo master cylinder and brake lines that came with the kit. if anyone needs the parts pm me. i want to sell them


removed the drum backing plates

installed the disc brake backing plates

installed dust shields, calipers, caliper braket, rotors, e-brake cables, axles, and new brake lines

all bolted up

sn95 master cylinder

bypassed the stock proportioning valve and joined the front brake lines

adjustable proportioning valve for the rear brakes

it took a total of 4 days because the long brake line that goes over the differential broke so i had to get a new one and bend it, i had trouble flaring and fitting to join the two front brake lines, i had to cut the sn95 rotors shorter with a brake lathe (cuz the kit was for a 4 lug), and i had to wait till the proportioning vavle and the e-brake cables came in. total time about 6 hrs. total time waiting on parts: about 4 days

the car stops on a dime now, i am very impressed with the results plus it looks awesome.
