Front Brakes; Rear Brakes; Master Cylinder; Starter - Factory Five Racing Type 65 Coupe Assembly Manual

Front brakes

1987 to 1993 front rotors are 11" diameter, and use a 4.25" 4-lug bolt pattern. They use a cast iron
single piston caliper. These rotors also contain the hub that carries the wheel bearings cast in as a one
piece rotor/hub assembly (1982 Lincoln Continental rotors are an exact rotor/hub assembly except they
have a 4.5" 5-lug bolt pattern). In 1994 the Mustang had a separate hub and rotor, and had a 4.5" 5-bolt
lug pattern. The rotor stayed 11inches in diameter, but a new style caliper was added. All Cobra™ and
the 1995 Cobra™ R versions of the Mustang from 1993 to 2004 used 13 inch front rotors with PBR 2
piston calipers. The 2000 Cobra™ R used Brembo 4 piston calipers and rotors. In all cases the flexible
brake lines with mounting brackets and banjo bolts are required from the donor. (More brake
component information can be found in the High Performance Braking Systems section of this Manual)

Rear Brakes

1987 to1993 Mustangs used a 4.25" 4-lug bolt pattern drum brake. From 1994 to 2004 Mustangs
switched to have a 10.5"diameter 4.5" 5-lug bolt pattern solid rear rotor with a single piston cast iron
caliper. All Cobra™ and the Cobra™ R versions of the Mustang from 1993 had an 11.65" rear vented
rotors with the same calipers that the 10.5" rotors used, however the caliper slider brackets were slightly
different. Because the 10.5" rotors were solid and the 11.65" rotors were vented, the caliper slider
bracket is manufactured with a slightly wider opening for the rotor. All flexible brakes lines and there
mounting brackets are required donor parts for FFR kits. Emergency brake cables will clip right into a
Factory Five kit. (More brake component information can be found in the High Performance Braking
Systems section of this Manual)

Master cylinder

1987 to 1993 Mustangs use a single master cylinder with two different piston sizes, one for the front and
one for the back, which works well with the stock brakes. Vacuum boosters are not used on FFR kits
due to interference with the chassis. For most disc brake applications we have found the 1994 Mustang
Cobra™ master cylinder ( 15 / ") to work the best. From 1996 to 2004 Mustangs used a brake boosting
16
system called a hydro-boost system. This system utilized pressurized power steering fluid to assist in
pedal pressure. This unit works with FFR kits with an adaptor bracket from FFR. (More brake
component information can be found in the High Performance Braking Systems section of this Manual).

Starter

From 1979 to 1991 the V8 starters used were all the same one wire starters. In 1992 Ford switched to a
lighter, more powerful starter which had a built in solenoid, but required a second external solenoid for
wiring and they continue to use this starter.

Driveshaft

Driveshafts were unpainted steel with a 28 spline yoke from 1979 to 1993. This 28 spline fits into the
T-5 and Tremec 3550. In 1994 Ford used a 31 spline yoke, which was used through 2004. This 31
spline fits the T-45, the Tremec TKO, and the Tremec 3650. The Tremec T-56 used in the 2003-2004
Cobra™ Mustang, and the 2000 Cobra™ R Mustang has a 27 spline yoke.
