Nice helpful video. I have a friend considering swapping a 1995 rear mustang axle into a 85 Capri. My question to him was how it would fit inside the rear fender wells. My 86 Capri rear disc conversion was patterned after a Ranger rear disc swap. That webpage shows a SN/95 V6/GT caliper bracket cut to fit inside the axle flange. You lose one of the four bracket mounting holes, but that can be minimized by using a set of 1999-2004 antimoan brackets from a junkyard. Like you point out staying with the 94/95 brake caliper lines greatly simplifies the brake line plumbing. The SN95 V6 master cylinder I used provides excellent brake pedal feel paired with SVO calipers I use up front. I do have a brake proportioning valve.
Great tutorial. I bought a used set of 94/95 GT axle plates (caliper adapter brackets) with anti-moan brackets for a 5-lug swap on my 93 Fox. My concern is that the axle plates don't have the offset like your North Race Car brackets. I plan on purchasing the Yukon 28 spline axles. Will those plates work, or should I get new ones? Thank you.
Without the offset, they will not work with axles that are the stock fox length (roughly 29 1/16"). You will either need to get the new brackets with the offset, or there is a method that involves cutting the SN95 bracket to slip it over the axle and mount it from the backside. Google "Flipped SN95 brake bracket" and a few threads will pop up.
@ my understanding is the drum brakes and axle length is the same between the fox 7.5” and 8.8. So any of the disk brake conversions and such should be the same regardless. I’ve never done it or seen it done on a 7.5” however but i am 95% sure the parts would work.
Excellent video… exceptional explanation and comparison and contrast
Great video! Well done 👍🏻

@@Mustang5L5 Thank you!
I don’t run the anti moan brackets the only time I get noise/moan is braking in reverse
do you havea link for those brackets?

What year is your car
@@jaysonprice9358 it’s a 1988.
@Mustang5L5 would that conversion work on a 85 GT?
