I have a 5 lug conversion done to my 86 Mustang using 96 spindles and 99 front calipers. Like a dumbass, when I went to order stainless lines for my car, I said I have an 86 so not even thinking about it, I went to hook them up and of course they didn’t fit. So now I am stuck in a dilemma. I have no idea what to order. So I need to get some advice from you guys here.

Are 94-98 Calipers the same as 99-04’s as far as the brake line screwing into the caliper?
I know that 87-93 lines work with the newer stuff.

When I reorder the new lines, should I get lines for….

87-93
99-04
94-98

I just want the lines to plug into my stock lines and the calipers of course, and hopefully not having to use any sort of adapters. I have no idea what the hell to do, so hopefully Matt90GT stops in here and enlightens me.

Also dont forget that somewhere in the production run of the PBRs and Cobras the thread pitch changed on the banjo bolts, so make sure you know what you have before ordering. BTW I used MM lines on my car too and they are an awesome product.
