Would you be able to do the cobra rear disk brake swap to a FW 8.8?

Not bolt on, the flanges are a different pattern, but with some mods you can, just make sure you have a big enough rim...

Thats why the Explorer swap sounded good. Just have to have the shafts lathed down and new holes drilled in the discs and I can keep 15" rims.

Okay not cobra swap but Mustang GT rear disk brake swap. You use regular mustang backing plates, rotors, etc... and you can still use your 15 inch rims.

what does that have to do w/ being a "term nazi" :icon_confused::icon_rofl::icon_rofl:
Wait, what????
Who called me a nazi??
I was just tryin to help you when you went to the machine shop to machine work. I PROMICE if you go in there and ask to have something "lathed" ,as soon as you turn around, they WILL make fun of you.

Go to lowes and ask for a "hot water heater", they will laugh at you. Hot water doesnt need a heater.
Sorry that im a term nazi.

Yeah just text me. We'll work it out. She asked me to keep an eye out for some 8.8 4.10s too and I know where one is at Glisson's. Its a L/S.


Also planning on looking at these tomorrow. 36s. Should be looking for a locker first, but its a good deal.

Finally going to make me a thread. Not going to go crazy. ]

SOOoooo I take it you never planed to be where your at right now did ya?






as for the terminology,
Ive been working in plumbing and heating for near 10 years now and when a customer calls it a "hot water heater"(which happens very often) It never makes me think any differently of them. I'm the pro not them. they are paying me to have the tools and knoledge to fix the problem. I also have them refer to boilers as furnaces and vice versa.
