Last night I dropped the 7.5 rear end out of my mustang and noticed the brake lines are different between the two. It seems the 8.8 got fed from the driver side where as the 7.5 got fed from the passenger side. Can someone who has done this swap tell me how to go about to get this to work. Thanks

i did it, didnt have a problem, you might have to just unclip the line further down and bend it...

i just took the brake lines off the 7.5 and swapped them to the 8.8. no problems at all. if you wat you can always disconnect the union in the pass. side engine bay and put on a new brake line.
