Anyone ever converted a Turbo Coupe rear to 5 lug?

[Anlushac11]

I am getting a 88 Turbo Coupe 3.73 geared disc brake rear and I need to know if anyone has ever converted one to 5 lug. Im thinking the axles would be easy but no idea where the rotors would come from.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am not aware of any "direct swap"
I was planning on using SN95 Axles and brake brackets and such.
IIRC You can also use Mid 80's Continental Axles and brakes.
I am not aware of a Rotor that is 5 lug with the right spacing for the axles you can use in the rea, with the stock TC brake setup.

Axles out of like an 88 markVII are 5 lug and you might get away with them and just the rotors.. if not you coulg get the calliper and bracket and be good to go

If you are wanting to keep it the same lenth as a TC rear, I would imagine you can just use SN95 axles since they are the same as the TC axles but 5-lug. Then I would think that you could prbably redrill or pay a machine shop to redrill the rotors. All the circle track guys I work with redrill rotors all the time on our little drill press so I dont think it would be too big a deal.

You could also go with ranger axles if you wanted to shorten it down to standard Fox mustang length. You would either need to modify the caliper brackets or get the aftermarket ones that I cant remember who makes them right now. I think they are about $100 a pair and are the same as the stockers with a 3/4" bend to move the caliper back.
