What rear brakes you got? Are they the ones for the 95 GT?
Cobra MC and booster.

You should identify which Cobra brakes you have up front.



Look under the pistons at the rear. Ribbed bores (left) are 94-98 38 calipers, smooth bores (right) are 99-04 40mm calipers.



If you have the 94-98 Cobra calipers, i would get a 94-95 cobra MC
If oyu have the 99-04 Cobra calipers, i would get the 1993 Cobra MC

Since you have an '84, you will need one of these adapters from max motorsports depending on which MC you get above
