  • Mustang GT disc brake bracket fitment w/pics!

    Was putting the serial number and tolerance stamping on these tonight
    getting them ready to ship, and I wanted to confirm how the CNC made
    brackets fit the single piston caliper. Here is what the very common
    1994-1998 Mustang GT caliper :



    Here is how the brackets fit them, this is the half moon cutout that I
    have been mentioning that isnt required for the Cobra caliper :

    Those look great Tom..
    Will smaller diameter wheels work with the earlier calipers?

      Tom, you really should use a coaster for your coffee. (ring on caliper bracket in second pic) Just kidding ! Glad to see you're still going on these. The ones you sent me fit like a glove and look great too.

        Yes Jeff, for some reason this keeps getting lost. The "GT" calipers
        will work with a 15" wheel, just can not use the Studebaker 15" wheel
        because it doesnt allow clearance for the caliper. Crown Victoria are
        the ones I am told will work, though I dont have them to try. There is
        a brave sole on here that has decided to take the plunge and put one
        of the GT setups together, his feedback will be critical.

        Glad you like them Jim! Yah, those 'rings' are left from when he fly cut
        the stock before putting them in the CNC mill. You cant feel them, but
        they can be seen. I think your set had them too. The flash really
        brought it out![:0]

        Thanks all for the compliments
