i have recently aquired a set of cobra calipers. i do not know what year they came off of but i got them at a steal.

My question is how or what do i need to install them. i did a search but found nothing usefull. The only thing i found was the sn lines will not fit the calipers. and i might have a banjo bolt problem. right now i have 94 v6 spindles, rotors and calipers up front. and so far i dont see anyway they are going to mount up to what i have. any help on the would be appreciated.

and for reference i know where a 00 v6 with pbr calipers is so if applicable i can get parts off it.

if you want ford parts, here are the part numbers from my m-2300-k kit.
Spindles-- F4ZZ-3105(6)-A
Hoses (caliper to hard line) F4ZZ-2078-A(C). Mine came with proper banjo bolts
Weatherhead fitting (passenger side) WEATHERHEAD 7828

Don't know if this helps, and it is certainly not the most inexpensive way!

Cheap banjo bolts of various sizes.

also with handy-dandy copper crush washers which are on the same page.

Take your caliper to lowes/home depot/ace etc. Go to the nuts and bolts section. Find the bolt that screws in where the banjo bolt would go, and take note of it's size (10mm x 1.25 for example)

Then go to the link above, and purchase as many of that size banjo bolt and 2 copper washers for each bolt.

Drink some beers and wait for the mailman.

The part number for the hoses that I gave you come with the banjo bolts. Verify with the dealer when/if you order.....
