Mustang Mach E Conversion

[Frenchy906]

Just ordered a set of Mach E Brembo calipers.

Found a used set on eBay with 17k miles on the donor car.

From everything I’ve read, it seems like a relatively straightforward process. I ordered two sets of rotors from work, because there is a 17” wheel setup and an 18” wheel setup that work with these calipers.

I figured I may need to swap out the wheels to a bigger set, so if I do, I’m going to buy the Wilwood dry bleed quick connects, so I can switch back to the OEM brake system in the winter easily without having a lot of additional work to do.

Anyways, for the price I got the setup for, it’s worth a shot.

Keep us posted. I have been eyeballing this ever since I saw it on the maverick forums

They arrived today. Very clean overall. Took and disassembled everything on them. Going to be giving them a fresh badlands orange paint job and then the work on getting them on begins. Hoping I can get away with the smaller rotors, and maybe still utilize my stock wheels. I don’t have HIGH hopes, but there is an option for 17” wheels with the brembo brakes.

This would be so sweet. Always thought the brakes are lacking in this vehicle. Godspeed frenchy, may the force be with you.

I took my wire wheel on the die grinder and got everything cleaned up tonight. Will say I’m glad I buy brake clean in five gallon barrels. I went through half a gallon cleaning what I could up. Gonna let them soak tomorrow in an iron decon mix and hopefully that’s the last bit of clean up before I paint them.

Got them all cleaned up after work today.

Hung them and primed so far. Doing a little more than needed… as is typical with me.

2K epoxy primer, 2k base coat, then a 2k clear.

Will post color photos later tonight.

 

[Frenchy906]

They’ve got the color now.

 

[Quashish]

Clean!

 

[Frenchy906]

Clean!

Thanks… wait until this weekend and I’ll post a hell of a good reveal photo of what they look like.

I’ve got… some… ideas…

 

[Frenchy906]

All done. Primed. Painted. Decals applied. Clear coated.

Those decals aren’t going anywhere ever.

That looks fantastic!!!

That looks fantastic!!!

Thanks! Now comes the fun (expensive) part of getting them to fit. Have to figure out a set of 18s that’ll fit on there without catching the barrel of the wheel.

From there, though… install is pretty straightforward.

Amazing! So 17" wheels definitely won't fit then?
