Title: 5 lug conv
Post by: jcassity on April 22, 2008, 08:14:47 AM
My brother in law who is a stang guy says that two left ranger axles will convert the stang rear to 5 lug. 
The front would be from the mark7.

does anyone here know of this?  just thought i would mention it.

Yeah, my brother did that with his years back.  it converts it to 5-lug drums.  I think you have to get only certain years though...?

so according to the spreadsheet you can use 98 mustang axles to convert an 88TC to 5-lug. can you use the stock brakes or do you use the 98 mustang brakes?

You have to redrill the rotors to 5-lug and open up the center hole to match the larger hub on the SN-95 axles.  Other than that, no changes are needed on the 87-88TC.
