Default PICS PICS 4 Wheel Cobra Disc Setup for the '83 Vert

So I began installing my 4 wheel disc brake setup a couple of days ago and thought I would share my progress with you guys. I have already installed the front brakes. I'm swapping in an 8.8" rear that I threw 5 lug axles and some paint on. I've got the rear axle almost assembled less brake lines and parking brake cables. I still have to install new Brake Booster, Master and Adj. PPV. Here are some picks.....







^^^^ Right now I'm running my buddies wheels off his Mach 1, but in the future I think I'm going to go with silver 10th ann's







It's a long shot but I'm in need of two parts and I'm wondering if anyone can help me as these parts are hard to purchase on an individual level. I need the (1)caliper bolt that mounts the sliding portion of the caliper to the actual caliper. This is the small bolt to the right of the caliper mounting bolt seen above. It is the same bolt on all '94-'04 mustangs. Also I need a front brake line to caliper bolt for a Cobra front caliper. So please if anyone has these items lying around I would gladly give you a few bucks for them. Thanks.

-Brian

Nice work so far! You'll love the enhanced stopping power.

I have those parts, but they are on my car unfortunately . Have you tried the junkyard?

Ya I think that will be my last option.....I've never been to a junk yard so it would be a new experience.

There's a guy on eBay named plus_more_parts or more_part_plus not sure which, but search SN95 brakes you'll find that he has a lot of the little parts you need to do the conversion. I bought my master cylinder from him. It came with the adapter and a just the right amount of pre flared line to bolt the master cylinder in. I didn't have to cut or flare a single line when I did the conversion.
