13in cobra r brakes


ill see about puting then into production.
if all i got to do is turn down a set of rotors and make a couple of brackets
so give a few weeks and i should have something

Ya thats all the hubs are, basically just cut the brake portion off, remove the studs and mill some off the face to make up for the thickness of the mustang rotor.
 
Glad to see you went ahead with making your own 13" brake kit. You are already making better (and faster) progress than I am on my Brake swap. Bought the kit but it has been sitting int he box for a few months now. For the time being the most attentions it see is is my glancing at it every time I walk by. Each time I'm thinking do I spend the oney and install it now (as the truck goes back together), or do I put the money elsewhere and install later.

When you get your brackets figured out post up some pics, might help other people considering building their own kit.
 
All i got to say is mine are BIGGER then yours !

Not for long! I got the kit sitting in the other room, just got to pick up the rotors and calipers to go with it. That said yours will probably be on the road much sooner than mine will.
 
Hey my dad is ase certified in brakes and suspension and he said thats just like any set of brakes he's ever done.
:icon_confused:

For future reference "my dad is ______, he said ______" isn't a great way to start a post. It's great that you dad is and that you are allowing him input on this project, but he's not here. Sure mention what he said but saying it like that just seems to rub it in everyone's face, and no one cares that much. If he is here please get him to speak up, I'm sure many users will have brake related questions that he could help with.

So all i got to say is mine are bigger then yours !
and will stop a hell of a lot faster then yours !!

Ok, now you're just being childish. Are you not building a kit to install Mustang 13" rotors and calipers in a Ranger. I have the kit referenced in previous posts (the one you were asking about originally) sitting in the box in the other room. It's purpose is to allow the mounting of the exact same rotors and calipers. All I need to do is buy said rotors and calipers and get them mounted (and install a lot of other stuff on the truck so it's driveable). So how exactly are they bigger? How exactly will they stop a hell of a lot faster?

I deleted my previous post... With your attitude, I dont care to help you.

:thefinger: I own a Cobra. It comes with these brakes and better rears then you have from the factory. Mine will stop faster then yours. :thefinger:
 
I would like to apologize to anyone that has, or will read this thread, It has been more of an argument than any amount of help, and has ended up as a ''Who can be the biggest dick'' contest between three of us, my self included.

When i said ''mine are bigger then yours'' i was making a penis joke,
Not trying to make u mad, Josh
because penis jokes are funny!

I was not trying to rub in your face that my dad is ase certified.
I was telling anyone that reads this that what snoranger said was not ture.

When i Originally asked about the brakes i did not know that theres really nothing to it, or were to find the kit, and i thank yall for giving me this information. now saying that when i finish my kit im guna make more kits to sell but for the people like me that just need measurments i will post all the info i've got
 
Well you already got a leg up on a lot of the new guys we get around here. You stuck around, even if what you heard wasn't necessarily what you wanted to hear (wright or wrong). I didn't figure out until later that there were replies by Snoranger (and possibly someone else?) that had been deleted. Didn't read what was written but it's always a good idea to take a step back and try to let those type of arguments dissipate, especially on a web forum since the guy on the other end probably doesn't care near as much as you do.

My reply was made in direct response to your previous reply. Given that someone had apparently deleted the post you were replying to before checked the thread again, it appeared that your reply was in response to mine.

Careful playing that who's disk is biggest game on the net. You never know, the guy on the other end could literally be hung like a horse. You really got to be careful because they chick you been hitting up in the chat session could be hung like one too.

You weren't making me mad, you were making me wander just how stupid you were. I clearly stated that I have the kit you are making, and your reply made basically said that I was lying. Now I realize that there was another reply made that your were responding to and that it had been deleted, as previously mentioned I never saw that post only your reply. You penis joke failed miserably, maybe it would have worked if that other post was still there but it's gone. Even then those type of jokes are about played out on the net.

Not saying that you were trying to rub it into anyone's face, simply that people may take it that way. I realize now that it was a reply to another (deleted) post. In that context it probably would have seemed perfectly normal, but nobody can even see what snoranger said now he deleted all those replies.


Damn I'm typing books again. Guess I need to hit the sack, I always get more talkative/wordy (what ever it's called) when I'm tired.
 
No his joke didnt work with what I posted.


Now that you apologized, Let me re-write my response.


The rotor needs a way to stay centered. Knock the studs out and machine the front of the "hub" with a step to locate the rotor. Without that step, the rotor is free to move around and wont ever be balanced.


Your father may be ASE certified in brakes, but he didnt look close enough. If he is ASE certified in brakes he will understand what I'm talking about and agree.


Edit: See the step.
