> Folks,
>
> After reading the Shotimes article on brake upgrade, I thought I knew what
> was needed to do a cheap and easy brake upgrade on my '94 SHO. So I drove
to
> the junk yard and bought front rotors and caliper brackets from a '96
Sable.
>
> Not so. When I got home I discovered both the disks (10 7/8") and brackets
> were identical to what I already had.
>
> Then to the parts store, where I bought the recommended Raybestos 66334
> disks. Ah! Bigger indeed, by more than a half inch.
>
> But can anyone tell me which cars at the junk yard use the Ford
> F60Z-2B134-AA caliper bracket (as specified on the Shotimes site)? This
has
> about 1/4" more offset, and enables the calipers to clear the larger
rotors.
> The Ford dealer told me maybe the Mark VIII or Continental. I'd like to
> install used ones, and save some of the $50 each the dealer wants.
>
> Any suggestions?
>
> Thanks,
