Since those are FORD parts you will ned FORD lines. When I did this upgrage to my Capri I got 84-85 SVO lines and it worked fine.

See http://www.svo73mm.cjb.net/ for brake upgrades that won't kill your wallet.

The 73 MM calipers came on several different Fords. You can get them locally for much less money and not pay shipping. Ask for calipers from a 91 Lincoln Mark 7. They are about $20-$25 each, with no shipping charges. You will also need to upgrade your master cylinder to get the calipers to work correctly. Again, see http://www.svo73mm.cjb.net/ for more help.

That's what I did. To the rebuilders, a core is a core. The parts guy looked in the box to make sure it was a brake caliper and not a bunch of rocks in a bag and was happy.

If you go to Autozone, you can buy the same calipers for $15 each.

Then give em your old ones as cores
