I do not have the number for the rear E-brake cable, but this can be sourced from your local parts supply.


The Junkyard Method

I would check the local junkyard (Yard locator (http://www.car-part.com)) and see if they have wrecked GTs on the lot. Your price would almost certainly beat what you will pay at the dealer level for the above parts. I was quoted $250 for two complete disc hub assemblies.

The park actuators and calipers from the yard sourced parts can certainly be re-used, along with the brake lines and E-brake cables. However, I would recommend that they be replaced to avoid potential problems. As always, use new pads and park shoes.


How easy is it?

Simple swap instructions :
1. Disconnect Brake Line
2. Disconnect E-Brake Cable
3. Remove 2 Strut/Knuckle bolts
4. Remove Trailing Arm/Knuckle bolt
5. Remove Lateral Arm/Knuckle bolt
6. Remove Sway Bar/Knuckle bolt

You now have the entire rear drum assembly in your hands. Change rear brake lines and E-brake cable. Replace with GT Hub Assembly in reverse order.

Just curious. Do you need to replace the master cylinder with one from a 4disc model or not? Ford offered a rear disc conversion kit for the ZX2 until about a year ago. It had the hubs, backing plates, just like above except it had a new master cylinder. This kit used off the shelf ford parts as Mexican models as well as the limited S/R package, were 4 wheel disc.
