For those interested, I'm going to be getting some lasered bits for the rear shock adapter brackets. To refesh, these would be to mount the more plentiful (but shorter) Mustang shocks on a Tbird/Cougar. I'll post up some pics when I get the pieces and get a sample together.

Projected cost?

Not 100% certain yet, but $20-25/set seems plausible.

count me in,... in fact, after buying them motor mounts, im probley in for anything you make lol.

Title: Rear shock adapter brackets
Post by: Chuck W on June 28, 2006, 08:13:21 AM

Well, I'm ordering stuff for 5 sets initially. It may be a couple weeks before I have the lasered stuff back. The big holdup on these will be waiting for the plating since they will be done with the motormounts I'm doing, which will take a bit longer to get together ;)

Another option for these would be for me to powder-coat them. My buddy will be doing a little gloss black in the next couple weeks and if there was a consensus on this over plating we could do that as well. This would make these available sooner.

Post by: Red_LX on June 28, 2006, 11:49:03 AM

Ok another question. Do these just bolt to the original shock mounts and extend them upwards?

Title: Rear shock adapter brackets
Post by: Chuck W on June 28, 2006, 12:31:27 PM

They bolt into the stock location and also to the where the stock tab went (gets drilled out).

Oh most likely. I just didn't want to get stuff for a -load of them to start. I keep my prototype batches pretty small ;)

Title: Rear shock adapter brackets
Post by: Nate on June 28, 2006, 05:17:01 PM

forgot to ask, will they be for lowered cars, stock height, or both?

Title: Rear shock adapter brackets
Post by: Chuck W on June 28, 2006, 10:12:13 PM

These should work for both. They raise the shock point about 2.5" over stock.

Ill also take a set. These will work well on the TC when its time for shocks and struts.

Im assuming these would also work with the SN95 shocks.

I believe the SN95 shocks are longer than the fox mustang shocks...much closer to what we have...someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Nope, they are only marginally longer than the Fox stuff...no where near the Tbird stuff....

If that was the case...I wouldn't bother with these...

They are going to be stronger and more secured to the axle than the stock brackets are.

Title: Rear shock adapter brackets
Post by: Red_LX on July 02, 2006, 01:24:01 AM

I thought the main problem with rear coilovers was the lack of support where the shock mounts to the body, not the axle mount...

The axle side is a weak point. If you look at MM's rear coil-over kit you will see the heavy duty shock mounts.

I haven't asked folks for money or taken orders. What I'm going to do is when I get the stuff and verify that things are copacetic, I'll go in order of replies to this post (as I have already said I would). After that I'll then order more pieces/parts to handle the balance of the interested folks.

These brackets are already available. I had a set installed on my TBird,
(now Dogcharmer's TBird) so I could use Mustang type shocks and coilovers. I can't remember who makes them, but I can find out in a couple of weeks. Here's a photo.

What the **** dude... Why are you stepping on Chucks toes?

Title: Rear shock adapter brackets
Post by: Chuck W on July 11, 2006, 10:41:28 PM

He's not stepping on any toes.

Those brackets look more like they were made with coil-over specifically in mind. They look a bit over-complicated for someone just wanting to use some decent shocks with the stock-type set-up.

Title: Rear shock adapter brackets
Post by: Ifixyawata on July 11, 2006, 10:42:40 PM

John, those don't look like they're made for regular stock-style shocks though. I only say that because of the horizontal stud on 'em. Unless I'm not seeing it right maybe?

EDIT: D'oh! Nevermind, Chuck beat me to it. Confusion eliminated.

Title: Rear shock adapter brackets
Post by: Johns331 on July 11, 2006, 10:59:33 PM

I didn't mean to step on anyones toes, The brackets are made for shocks that have a rod end on them. I got the shocks from Griggs racing, and I think they came with both the rod end and a stud mount. It's been a couple of years or so since I put it all together. I just saw this post and remembered what I had done. Don't try to raise the attachment point at the axle to use shorter shocks, The rear end will get squarely. It somehow screws up th geometry of the rear suspension.

How is that? The shocks don't affect suspension geometry unless it lets the suspension droop/compress beyond its designed limits.
Putting a 3" spacer at the top or bottom of the shock will have the same effect. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

So would those work even if the nut on the backside of my original bracket broke off? It was almost falling off so i welded it back on.

I know you said something about drilling something out. Would that be that bolt/nut?

The drilling is for the upper hole there you see. They will be held to the axle by 2 bolts.

Title: Rear shock adapter brackets

It's saturated if you can use V8 Fox Mustang mounts.......I could care less about those folks....I fill niches.

My applications
-ALL Fox 2.3T (SVOs, TC's early and late)
-Merkur XR4 (2.3T)
-86-88 5.0 Tbirds/Cougars
-Gen 1 & 2 2.3T Rangers

New applications
-MN-12 SuperCoupes (Also can fit 86-88 Fox T/C 3.8s)
-MN-12 5.0s

Other Applications
-Merkur Scorpios
-Other Euro Ford applications

Possible future applications
- MN-12 4.6

2 durometers of isolators

All in all about 10 different application part numbers....all designed and built by me.

He's refering to the seat support/SFC crossbraces that I had a while back when I was doing some TBird SFCs. The SFCs for the Tbirds/Cougars are easy to make since they can be done with straight main tubes. The seat supports just allowed for an easy upgrade.

Ahh, hmmm, I was looking at a getting a pair of seats by ProCar. The bucket seats that look like they are from the 60's era. I like the look without the headrests. Now I have to bust more knuckles trying to make seat brackets. Anyway, let me know when I am getting closer to the rear shock brackets. Thanks for the reply.

I won't be able to offer any feedback for awhile on my set. Some things have piled up that need taken care of first, so the shock brackets have been put on hold for now.:disappoin :o

On a side note though, does the plating need sanded before paint?

Well evidently I need to look into making more of these....

How did they work out for those who have them? I couldnt find any feedback.

Chuck, If you do make a few more please put me down for a set.

I was contemplating those Mr Gasket shock extensions, but I am not comfortable with potential stress they may put on the threaded part of the shock. Then BAM!!!!! I came across this thread. I got to come here more often :bricks1:

All 80-88 Tbird shocks are the same length....and Mustang shocks are too short for any of them.

So I *would* need a set. How much would that run me when you put them on sale?

You would need them if you were using Mustang shocks. Use T-bird shocks and you wouldn't need them.

I am still waiting for a set too.

OK, ok, ok, ok... :p

Give me a couple days to check a few things and I'll do a small group purchase batch.

Watch the Vendor Forum for details.

I'm not looking for them soon, but planning out the project. About how much would a set run though?
