I think the front are a true 11", and require a 15 inch rim. The stock 15" rims came on mustangs, including gt's. The gt's are where we get 11" brakes, so yeah.

I don't think the rears are any bigger then a 10" brake drum, so I would think it would fit, but I'm not totally sure. I had 10" drums with a 14" rim, but drums don't have calipers.

Survey Says YES
14s fit on a 8.8 with a 1/2" to spare.

14's won't fit on a lincoln mark vii rear. I know that from experience.

The 84-90 Mark VII uses much larger brakes in the rear.

Just doing a little more painting.

Did a bunch of pounding on the dust shields to make them look normal again. They were pretty mangled

I'll probably get to put a 2nd coat of paint on everything tomorrow.
And mabe install the battle boxes if things go good.

Wasn't worried about them, there's no way to put that thing down, and not mangle them without taking them off anyway.
Those shields are built for a tank. never seen anything so thick before.
I'm also kinda digging the 2 tone paint. I wasn't sure about it when I did it.

It will look good under the car with all the new parts.
I was happy when mine went in.

Battle box time
BTW.... they suck to put in

this is where the hole should be

so I had to add a little

then painted them

While those were drying, I had to do a little modifying on these

Then had 1 hell of a time installing them

Here's where the new hole is now

This was before the new hole was drilled

Here's an inside view of the backing plates

I don't recommend installing these unless you can do some modifying and welding

you can bend brakeline with your hands man. those tools are garbage. flaring tools are good, but the bending tools are junk... I'd rather use a bix end wrench and my hands :D

Could you say we'd be better off making our own instead?
