HELP! Fox to SN-95 brake line problems

Trying to finish brake swap on my 93 5.0 coupe but stock hoses will not go on caliper right. I have 95 gt spindles and calipers and the correct banjo bolt. Can anybody tell me how the brake hose hooks up. Do not have time to order new ss lines.

I had to machine mine down a bit like an 1/8" if i recall. I have pics if you want me to send it to ya. tstang90@yahoo.com
For some reason the square fitting on the banjo bolt side was the wrong shape as and it had to be machined down.And this was on a set of stock87-93 Russell SS brake line kit. It seems some come w/ a round fitting and some square. The pic I show ya will tell all. Drop a line if you want the pic.

or you can just buy the brake lines from Max motorsports for $80.00 which are custom made for that application. That's what i did.

The stock 87-93 lines have a lip on the end. You need to grind that lip down so it will sit flat on the sn95 caliper. Then your banjo bolt hole will line up.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up just getting new 94-95 brake hoses from NAPA. Earlier in the day my local auto parts store tried to help me out and they did manage to have the fitting I needed to adapt one of the new lines to the body. I finished the project and it looks great. By the way I have a 93 5.0 coupe with a nice set of polished 03' GT takeoffs (99 cobra style).
