i have a 95 gt rear end and brakes and front spindles and breaks on a 92 fox.. wat do i do about break lines..???

Mintsick · May 16, 2011

Connect them? What do you mean what do you do, you'll need to be more specific about where you are having an issue. I know on the fronts SN95 use different size left to right but you can connect them easily if you've got the stock SN95 line connected to the caliper still.

i have the line connected to the caliper and and the stock fox line wouldnt.. fit.. o yea the car was a 4cyl car if that counts for anything!!

Beasty306GT · May 16, 2011

which lines are you talking about the rubber brake lines? we need more info

302kid · May 16, 2011

the metal brake lines.. do i need to order a set of 5.0 brake lines(the metal ones) to connect the sn95 brakes.. i have the rubber brake lines already.. so to connect the rubber to the metal one.. i need aq 5.0 set of lines?

Do what I did.... buy 6' steel lines from Oreillys, some flared unions, a tubing Bender and have at it. Mine worked great

Mustang5L5 · May 16, 2011

Front?

Which caliper do you have?

As far as I know, 2.3L front brake lines are the same. The sn95 line should mate directly to the drivers side brake line, the pass side needs a weather head 7828 adapter.

But I could be wrong. Either way, there are adapters that will work, but we need to know what you are working with. You've asked a vague question in which we need more info

i have sn95 front calipers and sn95 rear calipers .. i have a 4cyl car.. with 4cyl brake lines.. i have sn95 rubber hoses off the caliper.. the metal brake lines will not fit the rubber line... can i get on like late model restoration and order a 5.0 stainless steel brake line kit.. and call it a day!? thats all i need to no..

93project · May 16, 2011

Dude, that's gonna be expensive. And fox brake lines don't fit SN or newer cars without adapters. If u can get the old fox rubber lines off the steel without destroying the nuts, just buy brake line adapters. I bought mine at Oreillys. If u do damage the steel line nuts... buy regular 3/16" six foot lines and bend them yourself

+1

So either adapters now, or adapters with the new $300 brake line kit.

Now that I think about it, 2.3L guys frequently upgrade to 5.0 brakes and bolt the 5.0 hoses on without adapters. So they are the same up front.

I AM NOT RYING TO PUT FOX LINES ON AN SN95.. I HAVE THE BRAKES FROM THE SN95 and money isnt an issue.. i just need to no wat the **** to do .. so i take it order the 5.0 brake line kit.. since i already have the rubber lines and adapters?

302kid · May 16, 2011

You are missing the point.

Doesn't matter if you have 2.3L body lines, or 5.0 body lines...you need adapters. So save your money.

Lets try this

See what i'm getting at? If you buy 5.0 lines, you will do the same thing...this is a pic off my 5.0

No, since you have a 1992, there are a few different parts you need...all aftermarket ford parts.

You need two of these

Ford Racing M-2809-A - Ford Racing Parking Brake Cables - Overview - SummitRacing.com

And one of these

Ford Racing M-2810-A - Ford Racing Parking Brake Cables - Overview - SummitRacing.com

And here is your instruction manual

http://www.fordracingparts.com/download/instructionsheets/FordInstShtM-2300-K.pdf

Parking brake stuff starts on page 15. You gotta do the mods to the handle as shown to defeat the automatic adjuster or the brakes will drag.

A few other items not shown. An 8mm nut for the center cable, some "e" clips for the parking brake cables where they attach to the caliper, and the cable guides that attach tp the lower control arm

1994-04 Mustang Parking Brake Cable Guide Pair by Ford at LRS - Same Day Shipping!

If you go to a boneyard, you can snag these off an sn95. They are bolted to the side of the lower control arm on the sway bar mount.

thanks man u have been very helpful.

302kid · May 17, 2011

can i also do away with the sensors for the abs.. ?

Shakerhood · May 18, 2011

Yes you can do away with the ABS Sensors.

302kid · May 18, 2011

okay so all i have to do is hook up the lines.. dont need to change brake booster or anything?

93project · May 18, 2011

For four wheel disc, I believe master cylinder and booster need to be swapped for either 93 cobra or SN and up. Proportioning valve too. Btw, we were all telling u what mustang5l5 told u . I guess its easier to show than explain though. At least u understood. So that's good. we all need help from fellow foxers!

brakes help.. im at a dead end!!!
