Good deal on Mark rear? Reply #8 – July 29, 2008, 11:14:41 AM Does it come with brakes?At some point, the MK7's switched brakes from the old 11.5" SVO ones to the TC-type.I'm not sure if the track width narrowed at that point, or if there were special brackets, etc.If you get it, do the board a favor and take a few measurements (namely axle to axle and housing width) so the spreadsheet that Jeremy B put together can be updated.Lincoln width or TC width aside, both will fit under your car just fine.$150-160 seems fair.

Think I am going to get it. I want to be able to swap rims easier (find them cheap easier). Plus anything is better than my 2.73s. Quote Selected

I'm still looking for a pair of the Mark VII hinge springs if he has those available. ;) http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=19741Quote from: Chuck W;229629Does it come with brakes?At some point, the MK7's switched brakes from the old 11.5" SVO ones to the TC-type.Chuck,It looks like it was the 1991-92 Mark VII's. According to the Raybestos book, the height of rotors changed in 1991 from 2-3/8" to 2-23/64" and the diameter whent from 11-21/64" to 10-17/32".Raybestos replacement rotor specs:TC rotors:Overall Height - 2-21/64" Diameter - 10-11/64"Mark VII rotors:Overall Height - 2-23/64"Diameter - 10-17/32"I haven't had physically checked it out yet, but in theory, using the following combination of parts may be a less expensive and fairly route to converting an '87-'88 TC rear to 5-lug while still retaining vented rotors on the rear.'94-'98 Mustang axles and the '91-'91 Mark VII rotors.Brent:cougarsmily: Quote Selected
Good deal on Mark rear? Reply #11 – July 29, 2008, 04:03:48 PM OK, well that still doesn't answer the question on whether the overall track width changed then as "technically" the rotors are all about the same height (as no thickness is noted). The change from the SVO-type stuff to the other only nets a 1/64" height difference.However, since the TC and later Mk7 rotors are about the same height, it's hard to say w/o comparing the axle brackets.Anyway, the '90 should have the earlier "big" brakes.
