So, I have a 1965 cobra factory five kit car. I was doing the brakes and the front brakes are from a mustang cobra (94-04).
The rear brakes are problematic, I ordered them for the cobra but they were too big. So I ordered stock GT brakes... and no go. It looks like they are lincoln/tbird brakes, the rotor is exactly 10" around but the hat is much bigger than the ford rotor and wont fit on the caliper bracket. If its a lincoln/tbird rear end, then it looks like someone redrilled the rotor slightly to make it all fit. It's weird, they even had the mustang brake pads, not tbird pads, with the weird huge springs... not sure how its all even working.
Basically, Id like to reverse it. Mustang guys are at a loss, hoping you guys would be more help. HOW did they do this? What did they change? Since it's a lincoln/tbird rear end, how would I swap that over to rear cobra brakes with the mustang bolt pattern?
Thanks in advance
