I've heard Ranger rotors will fit but I don't know for sure. Have any of you guys experimented?

thanx

I am guessing your trying to convert to 5 lug if so you will need 2 drivers side axles from a ranger along with the rear drums and 2 front rotors from a lincoln mark 7 (about a 91 model) you should also get the 73mm calipers from the mark 7 it is a bolt in affair .If you have any ??'s just email me. Good luck!

I know that 88 Lincoln Mark7 will fit on 87-93 5.0 cars but not prior. Up to 1986 the spindles are small and they have a 10" rotor instead. I've been through the swap on my 84, I just wanted to know if their was an alternative to changing the struts, spindles, calipers, hoses, and basically the whole 9 yards. I done a search on stangnet and found that 83-88 4cyl Ranger rotors will fit 79-86 5.0L cars or 87-93 4cyl cars. Thanx.
