  1. 01-13-2026. Just a little something to keep my motivation going. New badge and antenna delete plug from Resurrected Classics and Z Car Depot. I know, the clear looks dull, it will just need to be sanded and buffed. I'm planning on using Poppy's Patina wipe on clear in the summer God willing.

  2. Sorry for the delayed reply. Was having difficulty with my Password and trouble posting. Thanks Administration for correcting problem. Disc brake and Hand Brake Installation- First, Important Notice-The Invinclble Extreme 8.8 Differential Conversion Kit requires the use of 2015 to 2024 Mustang GT Rear Disc Brake system. All related Suspension Parts were created to work with these parts. Check carefully if any alternate brake parts are used for fit and function. Otherwise, Different Parts may require Modification at some level. I utilized NAPA Replacements Brake Parts (Calipers, Rotors and Upgraded Pads) for 2019 Mustang GT I painted the Calipers and Mounts with Polyurethane Bright Red to improve their appearance, Stainless Steel Brake Lines(from Amazon) were used. Brake Line Adaptors from EBAY connected the Male OEM fittings to the Stainless Lines. Brake Line Adaptor installed with OEM Clip to Stainless Steel Brake Line Hand Brake Modifications- The Hand Brake required a little more fabrication to function properly. I found these adaptors on Ebay although they were not designed for this particular job. The Above Two Parts were used together to adapt the OEM Hand Brake cable to the Mustang Caliper Hand Brake Cable Mount. The Cable Bracket with roll pin must be Slit to allow the cable to fit into the Threaded Cable Mount. After being inserted into the Cable Mount, the Bracket with Roll Pin is reassembled on the Cable. The Slot can hammered closed afterwards(or even tack welded) The Caliper Hand Brake Cable Mount had to be enlarged to 5/8" from 9/16"(use Unibit) to fit the Hand Brake Cable Adaptor. Insert Cable into the Nut assembly with JB Weld Epoxy to fasten cable to prevent movement. Allow 24 hours for the JB WELD to harden. Drill out Adaptor to 5/8" to provide Cable fit. /inserting Cable into Adaptor with JB Weld to hold it. I Assembled all together With the Hand Brake completely Loose, Slide Cable Roll Pin with Cotter Pin over the Caliper Lever Arm while pulling cable. Note-Stainless Brake attached to Caliper with Bolt(with copper washers-above and below. 0 The Hand Brake Adjustment Threaded Rod must be shortened by 2 1/2". Just use a Hack Saw to shorten a non- threaded portion of the Adjustment Rod. Pic of the Hand Brake Adjustment Rod in Trans Tunnel. The Shorten Adjustment Rod will move the Hand Brake Arm forward and make it easier to access. Final Hand Brake Adjustment was made when all Four Wheels were on the ground to the point the vehicle could not be pushed be hand. Wheel Spacers- With my 17" x 11 1/2" Wide Wheels and Deep Offset, the Inner Wheel Bolts would contact the Ca[iper Outer Face. US Wheel Adaptors provided 1" thick wheel spacers which get about 3/4" Caliper Clearance. I can probably shaved the Inner Side of the Spacer about 1/2" to bring the clearance down to 1/4" Clearance if necessary. Bigger Brakes with Larger Calibers and Vented Rotors would probably fit now(trial fit to be sure) if you go to LARGER Calipers and Rotors. US Wheel Adaptors can make spacers to whatever spacing that you might need. Also, the spacers can convert to different wheel mounting patterns. Wheel Inserts with 5 Lug and 4x 4 1/2" Pattern Matt Cochan at LOVE20BEE IN California found Watanabe Wheel Inserts for me. I sandblasted and took them to a local PowderCoater to powder coat. Extended Lug Nuts- Because the Narrow Wheel Lug Pockets, I went to Ebay to purchased Extra Long and Narrower Lugs. Almost all of these 14mm x1.25 lug nuts had to been retapped with Exlarge Long 14mm x 1.25 Taps because of bad threading. Extra Long Wheel Lug Nuts on Extended Wheel Studs.
