Title: Front Brake Line Question Need Help
Post by: ivygreen on December 10, 2008, 08:34:52 PM
I'm putting Cobra brakes on my '83 T-Bird.  I bought the Maximum Motorsports braided steel brake lines to convert 87-93 Mustangs to Cobra Brakes.  They don't match the T-Bird hardlines.  Does anyone know what adapter fitting I'll need to make the 87-93 Mustang lines work on my '83 Bird?

Take your old flex hose and the new braided hose and get a inverted
flare adapter from AZ,Advance or ORileys

I knew that.  I was just testing you.

Seriously, thanks for your help.  I had no idea what to do next. :brick:

Fox Mustangs use a 7/16"-24 INF fitting and the Tbirds use a 3/8"-24 INF fitting.  You can get adapters.
