NO CAST IRON ON COBRA's
Brain fade on my part for the silly statement, but you aren't quite right either. The Cobra Calipers do have cast iron anchor brackets.
Quote:
The differance is in the piston size 38mm on the earlier ones
Yup, and the 99+ ones have 40.5mm pistons; do you want a cookie?

I have yet to see Cast Iron PBR Cobra Calipers. at least from 1994 to 2002. All have been aluminium. I have two pair off of a 96 Cobra Say Cobra on them Also PBR made in AU and are the 38mm Dual piston calipers. Guess What Aluminium.
1. There was no 2002MY Cobra (or 2000 Cobra, aside from the R or the 300 australian cobras we built).
2. Yeah, there is cast iron on them, its just the anchor brackets, as explained above. And also, they are in fact from PBR in australia (woohoo for you, you were able to repeat what I said!)

and they are all PBR aluminium Calipers, They have Cobra cast on the outside.
Bzzzt. The 99+ regular mustang calipers (Base and GT) are also aluminum PBR twin piston calipers, and they DON'T have "Cobra" cast into them (fwiw, they are 43mm pistons). Also, the Bullitt, and the Mach 1 have the same basic caliper as the cobra (the newer 40.5 mm piston version) and those don't have "Cobra" cast into them either.

They used a thirteen inch rotor.
Holy crap! I didn't know that!!! Wow, you are enlightening us with a wealth of knowledge. Keep in mind, if you are cutting down the stock rotors from that 96 Cobra you got the calipers from, the Hayes design rotors are handed, plus you may run into clearance issues in tha hat area when you have to move the caliper in a half inch. Of course, if you have purchased replacement rotors from your Ford dealer, or even from tirerack or some other venues, you probably have the brembo rotors, which replaced the Hayes design in 99. No worries if you mix the brembos up, because they aren't handed.

SN 94/95 . . . SN96
Wow, 2 out of three tries is wrong. There is no such thing as an SN94, or an SN96.

Typo they are .810
That's not a typo, that's just wrong, just like when you gave me crap at least four times about mentioning cast iron and the cobra calipers in the same sentance. Own up to your screw-ups, geez.
Either way, you rubbed me the wrong way, because you decided you wanted to jump in and act all high and mighty over a semi-misstatement on my part. That would have been fine, but you had to jump in with a bunch of semi true tech that does nothing but confuse people. Maybe you should work on your post quality.
