I'm getting some more movement in my knee so trying to spend some more time in getting 7275 graduated. Couple items on the punch list to wrap up including brakes. Started with some brake envy after seeing Michaels build at Spotlight in GA when picking mine up. He has the "Cobra" big brakes with brembo rotors. Just cool looking. As I'm not ready to pull the trigger on another $500+ project I think I'll just give a pad change a go. This is where things got tricky. Have not a clue what rear setup I have so did some hunting around on the fourms to figure it out. Decided on Hawk HPS pads and ordered HB580F.627.... WRONG. These are the 88 Tbird pads and are larger than the pads I have... maybe should have checked before I opened the package (THESE ARE AVAIL FOR SALE ). Round 2... Did some more digging and found the right profile from 99-04 rear mustang brakes. Ordered HB183F.660.... WRONG. The (660) designation is the thickness =.660" Caliper wont fit... They make a .585" version I found.. Ordered and they better fit! For future reference my pads are Hawk HB183F.585.
Working on some covers for the gap in the front of the rear wheel next. After this I'm pretty much done for now. Have some new seats that should give a few more inches of room but will hold off on that for a project down the road. Will have the UCA's swapped for the newer ones with alignment in a couple weeks once weather turns. I was planning on getting some new tires as the proxies 888's I have are 10+ years old. Still the plan but the Nitto 555G2's I want are backordered for who knows long. Won't be long now...
