Disc brakes that fit 15" Halibrand rims

[Mike Sattelberg]

Hello FFR builders,

My base kit will be ready for pick up 6/3/2023. I ordered the 15" rims with the kit. I plan to use the 8.8 from my 1988 donor. What are good disc brake options for front and rear?

Thanks,
Mike

What spindles are you planning to use?

The Factory Five spindles use OEM 1999-2004 Mustang hubs, 11" rotors and twin piston PBR calipers. The FFR Halibrands will fit. In back to use your '88 donor rear end you'll need axles and a brake package including caliper mounts. I suggest that you call Richard Oben at North Racecars. He can set you up with everything including axles, rotors, calipers, hoses, cables and hardware in one package---one stop shopping and it'll all fit and work together.

Thanks for the info!

I don't think 13" rotors and twin piston PBR's will fit inside of 15" rims?

Thank you Rich. Yes, they are 11"---fat shaky fingers, tiny phone keys and lack of proofreading. DOH!

Godon Levy is a good resource for these questions whether you buy any upgraded system or not. He takes calls on his cell.

Thanks for the clarification on the front rotors!
