Theres a few write ups on the web and a few of our members have done "Da Flip"
In a nut shell the Right plate that holds brake caliper Goes On the Left & the Left plate Goes On the Right without rotating them.

Ranger axles "2 D/S" or new aftermarket axles for the 5 lug drum set up are needed.

Notching/cutting/grind of the plate and the 2 bolts "per side" need to be done so they wont hit the rotor. Also the 2 ears that hold the dust shield get the chop.

text coming soon
1&2 show the heads of the bolts cut and grind and tig welded so the rotors clear... tighten down and use locktight 1st before you cut off heads! "ask M.F for the specs"

3 SVO vs Ranger axles

4&5 bracket mounted on rearend housing

Sweet, only problem is my current wheels would look silly...

The ranger axles are 1/4" shorter than the regular mustang axles if I remember right. Moser can supply the the regular mustang width in 5 lug. Looks like there would be alot less grinding with them....

When you say regular you mean 4 lug? if thats the case i WOULDNT used the mustang axles because i dont think it would work....But i think the Ranger and Mustang "Fox Drum" axles are the same size.

I stand corrected on the axle lengths. I called Moser this morning and they tell me the 79-93 Fox Body length is 29 3/16" and the Ranger 83-92 driver side is 29 5/32". If you are doing a conversion and are concerned about the torque set of the axle you can pick up the passenger side axle for the 86-97 Aerostar which is 29 5/32" also. The Moser P/N for an axle set, 29 3/16" long, 28 spline, is A88-2851. If you just want a single axle it is A88-2851-1. They do not stock the SVO length and it is considered a custom order, takes 2 days.
