i have the Hot Wheels rims with two bolt patterns. i'm trying to figure out if the other bolt pattern would be the same as a cobras. i was hoping this way i could keep the rims and swap the brakes. what year cobra brake fit the mark viii

Seems like 03 but don't listen to me cause I could be way off. I might be thinking of something else.

Im pretty sure from 96-04 cobras used the same brakes maybe 94 and 95 as well.

Dunno, they seem a lil small for a Mark...

:slam

have you measured the bolt patterns on the wheels? One thing that you could try is to go to a junkyard and either take the wheel in and try it on a mustang, or buy a junk hub and see if it fits.

You know you can use the cobra brakes with the Mark VIII hubs? You just need the rotors redrilled.

How do you go about measuring the bolt pattern

I don't remember offhand. Measure your current studs and see what gets you 4.25". Then use that same logic on the other holes and see if it's 4.5"

You talking about bolt circle diameter?

...or try Google...

i don't know fellas it looks awfully close i think i might be able to get away with out having to get different rims or redrill the rotors

I have an idea. Get out a tape measure or vernier calipers and measure.

as stated above, a quick google search with give you more than enough information, but if you are too lazy to do it yourself, I went ahead and took the liberty of doing it for you.

or you could do it the hard way and find someone with a mustang, crown vic, mark vii, f150, basically anything ford with the same bolt patters as the cobra (5x4.5) and test fit them.

i did measure it, and its looking like it will work, now to some shopping around.

94-04 cobra brakes will work. I would recommend newer ones as they will more than likely be in better shape and not rebuilt/bored. good luck
