    Optional Rear Brake Set

    With the straight axle, does the 60421 REAR BRAKE SET - 11.65" work, or only with the Moser Axle?

    I optioned for the brake package, but it doesn't fit. You can see the top hat portion pushes the rotor back on the axle and won't allow enough room for the caliper to slide in behind to mount, Should I use some sort of spacer to move the rotor out?
    Thanks for any help

    UPDATE - found that I have to remove the stock caliper brackets, remove the axles too, to use the new Optional Brake caliper brackets. And, well, the brackets don't align with my mounts on the axle tube.

    Latest UPDATE from FFR - The Optional Brake Package will not work with the stock Mustang 8.8 Axle - am I the only one who bought the package? Now to put everything back on that I took off my rear end.

    I also bought the optional back brake kit from FF. I am curious as to what the trick is to keep the brake pad clips from falling out when installing the pads. Very frustrating. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

    As per another builder I used masking tape to hold them in place for assembly.
