Happy Tuesday everyone,
I'm a few months into my build and am installing the rear brakes on my roadster. I ordered the complete IRS and basic brake package from FFR and I can't seem to find any reference on how to install the brake pads. I downloaded the IRS install instructions, but it just shows a vague picture and says "install brake pads". I've done brakes before, but can't seem to figure out the clip/pad orientation. I did a search on line for various Mustang IRS rear brake installations, but none look like the ones from my kit.
Do any of you know where I can find info on these?
Thanks! I'd also like to throw a big thankyou out to the forum-- like many have said before, there's so much information here, it's an amazing resource.

The instructions for the IRS brakes don't show pad installation, but the instructions for the solid axle brakes do. Take a look at pages 8-10 here: https://www.factoryfive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Rear-Brake-Instructions-rev-E.pdf

I used the donor brakes from my IRS take-out so I have no first-hand experience, but I hope that helps point you in the right direction.

I'll try to get some pictures tonight when I get home, or you can drive up to Kennebunk and check it out! The springs clips in the middle are a pain to keep from popping through, but eventually I got them. Maybe someone has a better method....
