I don't know what fuel lines have to do with brakes.

The closest you would get is if you ordered a set for a 94-95 V6 Mustang without ABS. But i beleive the rear line is routed differently and the PV connections are different thread sizes (metric vs SAE)

I don't think it would be any easier as you'd have to deal with a different set of adapters vs the known adapters needed for fox lines.

That year, the brakes were split and the two lines run along the body...not a single line to the axle. So it's different.
