mrmike Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 This is how I lower the new Revell Mustangs. The picture below shows the front disc brakes with the one on the right modified. By removing the bottom of the mount, I can move the brake disc up on the front spindle or on the rear axle. Moving the disc up will lower the car to a more realistic level. I usually use the mounting pin that comes with the kit, but I wanted to try something a little different that I had read about. I used a piece of round stock and glued a short piece into the pin retainer and wheel. I will use a set of business cards under the chassis and set the ride height I want and then I will glue the brake disc to the wheel and then the brake disc to the suspension in the position I want. While the glue sets up on the wheels, I went ahead and started detailing the brakes. More to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkpitt289 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Good stuff to know. I now have several newer Mustangs and Shelby's in the stash that will need this kind of treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Moparman Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Mike, that's a good way to lower those 'stangs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Lately, I have been finding more time to work on the Shelby and it is really starting to come together. The engine compartment is now complete! A shot of the open element airbox. The Shelby is now up on four wheels! More to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
