    Mustang brakes on CV axle?

    Would a Fox 5 lug disc conversion fit on a Crown Victoria? I have all the equipment for a Fox conversion that I've been trying to sell, but thinking about it last night, I can't come up with a reason why it wouldn't fit my CV. If it does, I'm gonna do it. Obviously, I don't need the axles, but the calipers, rotors, brackets, etc are all there.

    Opinions?

    you have to the offset of the rotor. im betting that the brackets and rotors will not line up on Vic axels.

        What Duce said about the offset. That, and figuring out the E-brake cables would be a pain. The Fox E-brake uses the caliper itself, and Panther rear disc E-brake has little drums inside the rotor. I guess you could do something with standard Mustang cables and couple them to the panther cables or something.

            Yeah. Already passed the idea along. I figured I'd see, since I had all the parts for the conversion, already.

            What's the best year for the rear discs? Are they all the same?

              92+ are all technically the smame, but there are phenolic and steel calipers. You need the brackets and calipers off the same car.

                That's fine. I'll go to the yard and grab the equipment from the '95 PI from which I scored the driveshaft.

                Calipers, backing plates, brackets, springs and stuff... I do not need the line on the axle, correct?

                Can I also use the sway bar from the '95, if it's still there?

                  92+ does not use a line on the axle, they run on the frame and run a soft line from the frame to the caliper.

                    Ah, okay. Can I use my current e-brake cable?

                      No idea, my 85 does not have one. Even my 97s does not do any good.

                        need the e-brake cables off the partscar
                        hooking up the rear hoses to the lines on the axle is easy.......just gotta shorten up the lines, put a new flare on, and make 2 simple brackets to mount the rear hoses to the axle
