86 notch brake line replacement

[x1986chpstang]

hello all! i have a 1986 mustang coupe with a 5lug convertion and i want to replace my brake lines with braided!!! so my question is........ do i buy a brake line kit for a sn94-95 becuz i have disc in the back??? becuz i know 79-93 fox bodies only have 3 brake lines and 94-95 had 5?!?!?! ( and i have 5 )

The answer to this question depends heavily on which 5-lug setup your car has.

your assumption is correct, because Sn95 use 5 lines...which you have now. However, there are several different setups that the Sn95 kit is not compatible with.

So, do you know exactly what brake setup your car is wearing?

No!! I bought the car this way!! Although the guy said it was a svo rear end. And I just found out the the svo's came with rear disc brakes with 5lug.

Well, you need to be sure because the lines are not compatible woth the sn95 lines...however the rear lines are similar.

Got pics?

No but I can take some. I was just thinking about pulling the ones I have off and getting some custom made

Well, if they are truely SVO, then you could just get stock Fox lines for the front and axle, and then you'd just need to source out the rear caliper soft lines.

Of course, i would check that the fitting sizes are the same for 86 as 87-93. If they are, there are at least 3 lines that may be simple purchases.

In fact, you may need Fox lines for front and axle, and Sn95 lines for the rear calipers...but you might need adapters/mods to make the rear caliper lines work depending on what the PO did with the rear brake line setup

That's a 1993 cobra computer....nothing really desirable.

You need 24# injectors and a ford F1SF mass air meter to use it. No other parts will work.

Assuming your car is already a mass air conversion car (you said you had mass air) then an A9L is already a superior computer to use.
