Dave's 289 FIA/USRRC #9906

12/8 UPDATE: I've made the tough decision to have my build thread here: https://www.facebook.com/FFR9906. I wanted to bring my broadly-dispersed family and friends along with me and figured that FB was the most efficient and effective tool to use. Please like and follow my build there!

Thank you to FFR team members, independent suppliers and fellow builders who helped me get to this point!

Nice choice with the Inglese setup, I'm jealous! Enjoy the build, hopefully you can get the boys involved and inspire the next generation.

How are you fitting 15” wheels with the IRS?

[Zots]

I utilized 15's with my IRS...I got the Wilwood solution from Gordon Levy. It works great!

[BlueMud]

Absolutely, Chris! If all goes well, mine will look a lot like yours. I was thinking of you this weekend when I fit the rollbar brace. I appreciate the tips you've provided!

[BlueMud]

Yeah, I learned about Gordon's solution later (it looks like a good one) but figured I'll give the Mustang Cobra 11.65" setup a try first.

Hi Charlie - FFR has a rear brake kit specifically for this. 2001 Mustang Cobra parts. I should have read ahead though - I had the IRS fully assembled then learned that I had to perform another lobe-ectomy on my freshly-painted spindle. Cut it in place with my porta band saw and all is well.
