The rotor is to small off the ranger I believe

Lee has a thread on here somewhere, I believe it is one of the tech forums. I believe I used the Lincoln as Matt suggested with the factory bearings and seals. For the rear I want to say it is the two driver side axles from a ranger but you can find the whole kit from summit or mustang muscle. I believe I ordered mine off ebay.

Use the Ranger rotors if your car was a factory 4 cylinder car and still retains 4 cyl brakes

I think that is what I actually ended up using on the one actually did because it was a 4cyl conv. car. A few trips back and forth to the parts store before I figured out that stuff was not swapped over.

Also juice I believe with the factory 4cyl conv. you cannot run a 9 inch wheel in the front due to scrubbing is that right?

:hmm: I thought that the Rangers stepped up to 11" rotors in like '89,or I might be thinking about the 4 wheel drive rotors.:shrug:

keep in mind that the rotor hat on both the Ranger and the Mark are taller than on the Mustang so you may have to run a spacer to get the center caps to fit on most stock Mustang wheels. A lot of the Ranger guys run at least a 5/16 spacer I think.

:yup: I ran into that when I did mine. I eventually got spindles,rotors, and calipers from a 95 GT

right in the thread Lee has, it has a couple of different options for the conversion and a list of wheels per conversion that you can run and still use the center caps.

Pull-A-Part here in Bham is supposed to have a V-6 SN-95 with the front brake setup still on it. I want to go get it just havent had the time/money. I want to get the car running before I worry about 5-lug swap though.

The Mark rotors are a direct swap if you get the right year. (87-91)

There are 2 mark vii's at pull apart right now. I was there today. The 95 front end is long gone. the car isnt even there anymore. It was there a couple months ago.

I just wanta know who the hell is nabbing up all the left side ranger axles?
I went to get my drums and axles today, and 90% of the rangers had the damn left axle missing. Luck for me I found a few still and a few aerostars also. Apparently who ever is getting all the axles didnt know the aerostars will work also!!! All the aerostars still had their axles!

All the damn taurus fans and mark 8 fans are gone. There was a mark 8 placed on the lot last weekend and today the fan was gone.

Lucky me I get to drive back 70miles again tomorrow because my carrier center pin is efed up and I gotta have another pin ASAP like before monday!


BTW ya gotta get a cup of lemonaid off that dudes little roach coach out front. That shit is awesome!

There's 2 MK VII LSC's sitting behind a body shop over here by my house.I've tried to catch somebody there to ask them about parts,but I think it's a couple of guys that do that on the side.
