Hello,
I have 86 Lincoln Mark VII 73mm calipers in my 86 Capri 5.0L that I changed spindles, rotors and master cylinder. I would like to put in stainless steel braided hoses to the front calipers. Anyone know if the 87-on-up Mustang stock brake stainless steel braided hoses will fit?

If not, anyone know where I can track down ss braided hoses for the 86 Lincoln Mark VII?
Thanks,
Mike

I use braided stainless lines for my 73mm calipers on my 88GT. The 87+ should work for you

Check out the stainless lines from Maximum Motorsports. Tha's what I used on my car with my 73mm calipers. They are the best lines on the market IMHO.

Did you guys have to use any special adapter fittings? My current hoses fit directly with no adapters.

If I recall correctly they were a direct bolt-on

SS hoses direct bolt on.

You could specify hoses for an '86 SVO. Same front brake setup as you current have (minus the 5th lug)
