I need help with connecting the brake lines. Has anyone done this?

thank you.

You are better off swapping the lines off your original axle onto the cobra axle, and purchase some 94-95 Mustang rear soft line brackets.

The 96+ Cobra axle uses 2 rear brake lines that are body mounted. The 94-95 Mustang uses a single body line like the fox mustang that runs along the axle and splits there.

So take the axle-mounted lines off your current axle, mount the 94-95 mustang rear axle brackets to the axle, and then a set of adapters to connect up and good to go.

The rear soft line brackets i am referring to look like this, and bolt up tothe shock mount. The 96 axle should have the mounting holes present already. These are available at most parts stores
