    trying to find braided brake line kit

    Just looking around on Jegs to see what kits are available. They have kits for pretty much all mustangs, and I'm wondering if one of these would do.

    Do the mustangs use the same size fittings as us? Can someone with a mustang measure the length of their lines?

    nope mustang hoses are completely different
    only way to get braided hoses is to do a big brake/rear disc conversion

    1986 lincoln towncar signature series. 5.0 HO with thumper performance ported e7 heads, 1.7 roller rockers, warm air intake, 65mm throttle body, 1/2" intake spacer, ported intakes, 3.73 rear with trac lock, 98-02 front brake conversion, 92-97 rear disc conversion, 1" rear swaybar, 1 3/16" front swaybar, 16" wheels and tires, loud ass stereo system, badass cb, best time to date 15.94 at 87 mph. lots of mods in the works 221.8 rwhp 278 rwt
    2006 Lincoln Town Car Signature. Stock for now
    1989 Ford F-250 4x4 much much more to come, sefi converted so far.
    1986 Toyota pickup with LSC wheels and 225/60/16 tires.
    2008 Hyundai Elantra future Revcon toad
    1987 TriBurner and 1986 Alaska stokers keeping me warm. (and some pesky oil heat)

      I think Blaze86Vic found some stainless lines that fit up front from a Toyota or something wierd, but I believe that may have been on his big brake swap.

        How so? I wouldn't think there would be that many variations in the banjo fitting at the caliper, and especially not in the 3/16" inverted flare fitting on the inlet end.

            Ah. So it's more of a "it won't work because part of the hose is hard-plumbed from steel and bent into a funny shape" sort of thing. I had no idea any brake hoses were constructed in that manner. Still looks (to my inexperienced eye) like the ends may be the same ....

              Uh, length is gonna be different too. They are completely different beasts. Some local shops can make you custom lines.

                and fox mustang hoses have a threaded fitting that the hose screws right to the caliper

                    only for '79-86 all and '87-93 4cyl cars with the baby brakes (left):


                    '87-93 v8 cars uses the same pads, calipers and rotor size (rotor itself wont interchange, but the measure the same diameter)
