Crown Vic disk brake questions

Will the crown vic parts work with my 72 4 lug?

 

I was doing some research and found that a Mazda rx7 rotor is close. It's 4x4.5 lug and tho od I's 10.26. I was wondering if I could make it work

 

the C.V. is 5 lug.

 

you say "make it work" what would you have to do to it for that to happen?
see if the rotor is the same thickness.

 

I was thinking that I might be able to Redrill holes for the caliper bracket and relocate it closer. But trying to figure out a way to do it without compromising the ebrake system. But i'ma do some more research and see if I can find a rotor closer to the same size. But any tips would be highly appreciated

 

5 lug it the crown and 4 lug is the Mazda. I'm thinking I can use the crowns back plate with the Mazda rotor and calipers. I'll just have to make some new holes for it. Or do some more digging and see if the Mazda back plate will fit

 

Or just get some parts that actually fit. Those thicknesses aren't even close... Personally, I try not to mess around when it comes to the important stuff like brakes.

 

That's why I was looking into use in the Mazda caliper. And possibly the backing plate. And as for the right parts. I have a low budget. There are no cars to rob parts off and the kits are to expensive

 

going 5-lug drum/drum will be...low budget...

 

I can't find a set of spindles in my area. And I would have to pick up a set of rims and tires

 

And for the back. What's the easiest to find axle that will fit? 85 or newer.

 

8" 5 lug...

 

Craig Selvey ...is in your area.

 

Madison is quite a bit south of me. I am in the same "state"....but I would not say the same "area".

 

Yea. And I spend most my time in KY anyhow
