Stimmel1647545512 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Okay so heres the deal, I am using a rear end out of a 1988 thunderbird turbo coupe in my 1988 mustang they are both 8.8 rear ends, I got new napa calipers and rotors and switched the fox mustang axles into the t-bird rear end like most websites say to do but since the axle is shorter i just figured out today when trying to put the brakes on that made no space for the rotor and caliper to fit.... Do I need to put the T-bird axles back in? which i dont have anymore find me some please haha Do i need to use a special rotor/caliper set up? Please help...the car was supposed to be done today but yea this is holding me up did napa give me the wrong rotors/calipers rotors are napa part number 4885892 calipers are napa part number 142-4104a and 142105a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
