that the rear cobra line kit is designed to be used with an sn95 length rear axle and will be a little too long (3/4")...what have you guys done to make this work on fox-length axles? i am using 96 cobra front and rear calipers with NRC axle kit? just want to make sure i order the right parts the first time.

thanks

anybody?

 

[Mustang5L5]

I dunno. I have those kits on my car. I have the SN95 axles on it, but looking at pics of it, i don't think the 3/4" is gonna matter.

 

[killer5.0]

i hope not because the guy at maximum motorsports said i would have to cut/re-flare my hard lines to accomodate the extra 3/4"....i dont want to have to do any of that....

 

[Mustang5L5]

I don't quite understand why he would say that. The brackets bolt to the same spot no matter if you use the SN95 axles or fox axles. Just the soft flexible line would come in 3/4" I don't see why you'd have to cut and reflare. You are gonna have to rebend the line anyway slightly.

i mean 3/4" didn't seem like alot seeings how the line is flexible not a hard line...as long as it doesn't come in any contact with suspension etc i think i should be fine...so are these parts the one you used?

 

[SpartaPerformance]

The extra 3/4" will not matter.

The extra 3/4" won't even be visibly noticable. With the arch in the line you won't even know. I went with braided lines on all four corners and center line.

 

[killer5.0]

cool ill order them then...you dont think it will interfer with suspension components etc do you?

thanks again

 

[Repostyle]

I did have to change mine up a little from the pic once I put it in, but nothing too drastic and I have no clearance issues on my lowered car.

 

[Shaolin Crane]

he was saying to reflare them because cobra lines are a bubble flare and gt lines are an inverted flare, i didnt realize this an did an inverted flare and broke my bubble flare brake lines first time around

 

[killer5.0]

i dont have to flare anything if i buy this kit correct?

No, you just need to carefully loop your rear axle lines around and pick up a pair of Weatherhead 7818 adapters from NAPA
