do any other calipers fit the stock TC rear? is there a place to get calipers at a good price, other than the junkyard?

nope, theyre 87-88 TC specific

if you get a set of junkyard calipers, and use them as cores, the price will drop considerably

Actually, early Taurus SHO's have the same rear calipers (fact, Im using them) and I believe that the early 90's lincoln cont. have the came rear calipers as well but I have not checked that personally.

As for price, even with cores it cost me ~140 for loaded rear calipers

On the subject of TC rears... does anyone have the part number for the rear quad shocks? I'll be needing a set or two.

Offhand I don't know the numbers, but if you take a trip to Advance or AZ, they can look it up for you. Make sure you tell them it's for a 1988 Mustang GT...NOT a T-Bird or Cougar. Should be roughly $12-15 each, perhaps the Tenneco brand (parent of Monroe).

I recently bought a set for my new TC. Got 'em from Advance, the numbers on the box are 20849, and below that was 22-4105-6.

They are Tenneco, as Eric mentioned.

ok, now about the e-brake cable....how do you get it off and where do you get it from? all the way from the pedal back? the TC I pulled the rear from, the calipers were gone, and the e-brake cables were hanging there where they apparently attatched to the calipers. IIRC there was just a little piece of metal at the end, I don't know how the cable attatches to the brakes but I'm assuming this little piece of metal locks into place on the brakes somehow. I'm wanting to go to the yard and see if they have any more TCs out there
