So I've got a '96 Mustang 'vert rear end in my shop. I'm putting my Yukon hardened axles (out of LRS's cheap 5 lug swap kit. they're stock fox length) in 'em and I'm gonna keep the disk brakes. And, no I won't be getting the North Race Car brackets.
Little back story. My dad bought an '88 GT Mustang rear end to go in his '96 Drag Stang (orig. v6 car with v6 rear) he bought fox length hardened axles for the rear end and tried to put the disk brakes from the '96 on. Ran into an issue of course since the SN95 axles are .75 inches longer due to the luctor wheel attached to them for the ABS. So, he found a way (using all the factory SN95 rear end pieces) to make fox length axles and SN95 rear brakes work.
Now, do a lot of people know that you can do this or what? I ask because I haven't seen it done before and anytime SN95 brakes and fox axles shows up here on SN, everyone says get the North race car brackets.
If this isn't a very well known thing, I'm going to make a write up about it when I go to do mine here within a couple of weeks. Lots of pictures will be included.
Oh and the best part of all this, it seriously won't cost you a dime to do it
