Nice. I plan on doing this eventually with mine since i have c clip eliminators. Saved the pics where to cut. I got rings from chris neighbors on the corral to make up the difference on the axle ends so the disc doesnt just use the studs for centering if staying with a fox axle end.

All mounted together..

Converted another rear brake system. Here is a side by side pic of how i cut the brake bracket..

Bolted to housing..

Beef up any mounting holes with sypherical bushings. They will get elongated.

I actually wore a couple of the bushings out. Well i egged them out with only 300hp 400 with the bottle. They sent me replacements for free. This was something like 5 years after of street abuse as a daily.

I didnt ask for it they just asked for my addy.

Cool. Thanks for the info. My car might see 3000 miles a year.. lol

Looks good! You clean the rear end and paint it while you was under there?

Not really.. still want to get it welded up one day. Then I will make it look nicer.

Ok.. I installed the new UPR upper spherical housing bushings. Got a complete new 31 spline Cobra diff. I discovered 31spline spider gears will not work in a 28spline carrier housing. Axles in and diff all mounted




Discovered I needed to space out the disc brake caliper mount just a bit. Might try swapping axle braket and see if that will make up the difference I need to not use a set of washers..

What differential you going to use?

My original rebuilt with 31spline spider gearset and new cobra carbon fiber clutches. .
