disc brake conversion brake line question

[ridethe93GT]

alright...im puttin my 96 axle under my 93 GT.....i took the brake lines off the 93 and tied them into the 96 lines and capped off the extra hook up....is this how i should have did it...so i just use the single fox hook up????

You have a V6 rear as it had the extra hook up, you can buy the hose from NAPA P/N 380371

hold on a sec, you put a V6 7.5 in the place of an 8.8?

Only V6 cars have that extra hook up on that hose!

 

[ridethe93GT]

no no no....its an 8.8 out of a cobra...that my be why it has the extra hook up...idk.....but the left side has one line in and the right said has one line that spilts into 2...so i just pluged one of them off....took the hard lines off my 93 rearend and bolted it all back on and into the car

As far as I am aware, that junction on the P/S hose was only on V6 Cars!

 

[ridethe93GT]

well idk but this came out of a wrecked 96 cobra...i know b/c i pulled it...the only way the v6 is possible is if the guy took the 8.8 out and put the 7.5 in b4 he sold it to us..and the guy had no way of doing this and i could tell the rearend had never been out of the car...there for its an 8.8 and i guess the cobra brakes also had 2 ports on the P/S

I double checked myself, if you look on NAPAs website and use a 96 Cobra and GT you will get the same part Number with the single outlet brake hose P/N 380371. If you click on the V6 model you get the 2 port outlet hose P/N 380542. Someone had to switch rearends in that thing before you got to it. You may want to check the tag that is bolted to the diff cover for some info!

I was thinking that the car may have been a V6 car that someone put Cobra body panels on too. Do your Rear Rotors measure 11.65" and are they Vented?

If the brake line juction is over to the left side its an 8.8 and if you have the vented 11.65" rotors out back they are Cobras.
