tried the search & couldn't find.
mid 80s thunderbird front hubs & rotors, any chance they would work
for the converison?

don't think i've really heard much about tbird front hubs b4. just lincoln towncar.. but if you can afford to go with the sn95 setup, you won't regret it.

Need a little more info here


What do you drive?

Also, i'm puzzled why you want to use parts from a 4-lug car to complete a 4-to-5 lug conversion.

mid-80's t-birds were 4-lug. They didn't go 5-lug til 1989 and that was the MN-12 chassis which does not have parts that will work on a FOx.

I wouldn't go the t-bird route anyway. I had a hard time finding a decent selection of rims for my Thunderchicken.....until the wife totalled it anyway.

Mark 7, not Town Car. Thats the ghetto setup that really doesnt do anything except add a lug nut.

For better braking, wheel selection and handling go with the SN95 setup.

Mark 7 rotors dont let you use alot of newer Mustang wheels due to the big hub/dustcap just like the stock 4 lug parts.

Its not worth my time to switch over.

Most catalogs have conversion kits. CA Mustang, Mustangs Unlimited. I would personally go that route because i've learned anyting custom takes way more work than you expect it to.

I pieced my swap together and there wasnt anything complicated at all with it.
I used '94 v6 spindles, calipers, hubs and rotors and Ranger axles and drums.
As long as you get the right parts the swap isnt hard.
