I HAVE A 68 MUSTANG THAT I'M CONVERTING THE REAR DRUMS TO DISK BRAKES. I HAVE THE CALIPERS AND BRAKES FROM AN 92 CROWN VIC. THE THING IS THAT I CANT FIND THE AXEL SPACERS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO DO THE CONVERSION. I FOUND THEM ON EBAY BUT I CANT FIND THEM ANYMORE. IF U CAN HELP ME FIND THEM, IT'S FOR A 8 INCH REAR END. THANKS!!

put a 8.8 from a fox and go grab some north racecar brackets and the rest or the SN95 brake parts from the junkyard and call it a day. besides it will be easier and cheaper to find parts for that 8.8 over that weak 8" .

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

whats the difference between a 68 stang 8" and a fox 8.8 in length like about 3/8in total, thats nothing. besides fabing up shit is the fun part working of cars.
