Would any of you folks know if the front brakes were taken from another model?

I bought PowerSlot rear rotors a few years ago and now have to replace the fronts. I'd like to put PSs on the front as well (to match), but the PowerSlot website indicates that they do not carry a part number for 93 Cobras.

Otherwise, if anyone can suggest a rotor that has straight slots without the cross drilling, I'd be greatful.

Front brakes are IDENTICAL to regular 5.0, except for a taller hat. Same diameter/thickness rotor, just make the wheel stick out to match the wider rear end.

FWIW.... I picked up a TC rear end from a junkyard and it didn't have vented rotors :shrug:

Of the three different TC's rear ends I've seen at junk yards other than mine, none of them had vented rotors.

Pardon my ignorance, but what part of the rotor is the hat? Is it that little "tabletop" that the studs stick out of?

You got it!

WOULDN'T THIS CREATE A LARGER STRAIN ON YOU BEARINGS?, BALL JOINT? ON A STOCK SPINDEL?

Only 3/4" difference, not enough to hurt anything. Remember, an OEM setup, and many with over 100k miles on the stock setup...
