T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / 88 Sport 4/sale
Hey guys I'm selling the 88 sport I bought from this board earlier this year. The car is real clean and everything works except the power locks. It has 126,000 miles and the motor & trans both are in great running condition.

$1200.00 or b/o.

The car is located in NJ 07062......Thanks for looking.

Drivetrain Tech / 5 lugs Bird conversion...

You will have to check your build date on your door tag to see when your car was built. The older, Mustang-width axle was produced from ~1/83 until 11/84. After 11/84 the specific Cougar/T-Bird width rear axle went into production. As mentioned, there is a difference with the hat section for the rear drum brakes. You can also check by visually inspecting your rear drums. If there is a pr0nounced hat section bump out, you have the earlier rear axle. A flatter hat section denotes the later axle.

If you have the later-built T-Bird, then to do the simplest swap, using a full factory configuration:

- 10", 5-lug rotors (cheapest is $99/pair from North Cobras)
- Pair of 1994-98 Mustang axle shafts, ~29 5/8"
- Pair of Ford Racing 9", 5-lug drums (M-1126-D, list $40/ea. US)

More info here.



Will the caps from the SN95 wheels fit over the nose of these rotors?

That size looks perfect for the back. The FR500's are very nice wheels also.
