I installed my Cobra brake kit and when I went to install the Master cylinder the outlet ports on the Cobra Master cylinder were different sizes. Small in front and larger one in back.
:nonono: Anyone else have this problem and what did you do to fix it? :bang:
Can you get replacement lines?

Cobra on top stock on bottom.
 
I remember reading a write-up about 2 years ago on the Cobra M/C swap, and you have to get a fitting for I think the larger side, and cut the stock line, remove the stock fitting, put on the larger fitting and re-flare the line. I think this is why most people stick with the stock M/C when they do the Cobra brakes, I did and I love the pedal feel, its nice and firm and provides more than enough pressure to lock-up the front wheels (ABS).
 
I went to a place here called G&J aircraft and had some custom SS lines made with the correct fitting, plus they look bad a$$ and only cost me 40.00, the fittings are actually the same size as the GT M/C, but there switched backwards so take the gt m/c to a local place where they make lines and fittings and they will hook you up.
 
I just bought the cobra.... lol, I did just put SS brake lines, cross drilled and slotted rotors front and back and new hawk pads all around this weekend. The car stops on a dime now. I'll put pics up if anyone wants to see what they look like.
 
Please do post some pic.

But check out the new thread I posted in the talk section about my horror storie with my Cobra Kit.
crapolaThe Gremlins got me and the retards at Ford Racing.:bang:
Ford Racing sent me two right hand calipers. I didn’t find this out until I went to bleed the last one on the left side. The bleeder is on the bottom not the top.:shrug:
