[QUOTE="wheelhopper, post: 9335660, member: 32430"] I thought about welding, but I figured if I ever decide to go back to straight axle bolting it in place would be simpler to reverse. Got this done today as a matter of fact. Bump stops and pinion snubber were pulled out when everything else back there was. You're right, it was Ken. I think you were scheduled to instruct me at my second event, but we never hooked up and I was comfortable going solo, so Tony let me go. It started with me looking at putting a disc brake conversion on my foxbody. All the ones I could find were over $500. I had a few IRS assemblies that I had purchased over the years for good prices, one that was complete with brake calipers and everything I needed to transplant it into a straight axle car, so the decision sort of made itself. Plus I like having something a little different than everyone else, you should be able to relate to that. An added benefit will be better weight distribution in the fox body. In hindsight a disc conversion would have been cheaper. I have been getting nickel and dimed every time I work on this project. By the time it is done I will have easily a $1000 in misc. brake lines, adapters, sleeves, bolts, bushings, etc. It is going to be cool though. [/QUOTE]
