Ok, so for the few that do know, I totalled my mustang a long while back, but it's my love, so I'm fixing her... been several months too... so anyway, I picked up the red "pony" style calipers (bullitt style), but without the Banjo Bolts... Ford Parts wants $21.72 for each one! (and I don't have the ones from my old calipers, btw, when my caliper exploded, most of those parts went with it... Someone had mentioned Brad's, but I don't have the number, and google isn't helpful. I'll need the soft copper washers too, btw. Thanks Guys

P.S. I'M ALMOST ALIVE AGAIN! SO BE WATCHIN' THOSE STREETS REAL CLOSE!

A "good" auto parts store will also have them... but those are few and far between these days.

make sure when you order the banjo bolts, that you order ones for a bullitt I want to say the bullit and cobra calipers take the same bolt, but for some reason I remember them being different even though the rest of the caliper is the same. I did the cobra swap on my 98 and it took me about a week to get the ford dealership to send me the right bolts

Thanks guys... I'll check them out tomorrow morning... Yes, sadly I did "total" my car, only in the definition of the word, at least... the cost of repairs exceeded the overal worth of my car, but definitely not the overall worth to me... But, since most of the drivetrain had to be replaced, why not upgrade, am I right? LOL... why spend $4,000 on some replacement parts when you could spend $5500 and be so much happier! (^_^)

The front bolts should be fine thread-

From Ford Racing they go as part# FMS-M-2321-A
The rear are course thread. I believe they are the same from GT to Cobra.

I know the gt's are different than the cobras, my 98's stock ones were fine thread and the cobras were coarse (or the other way around, I dont remember)
