Just curious what soft brake lines I should be running up front... Originally I was told to go with the MM ones that match the fox body side and sn95 caliper side but I failed to read where it says 99-02 GT... not 94-95GT so I'm left stuck with these that don't fit... Any ideas on what to do about braided fronts that match my fox and the calipers? I heard you can run an adapter on one side to match the fox brakes and run just normal 94-95 soft's... Any idea on where I can acquire this adapter?

It is a Edelmann 258430 (Weatherhead # 7828) fitting. See this thread for confirmation:

If you have the MM lines, you should be able to sell them pretty easily, or just upgrade to the 99-04 calipers at some point!

Good luck!

I noticed someone said on that forum they got fox spec SS lines and just ran the sn95 banjo bolt... Just curious if that would work. I had to buy the 3 fox SS lines to get the rear SS one for the fox so I have the other 2 laying around... Any ideas on that? If not I guess i'll have to go buy the fronts + rear for sn95 and the adapater then sell the rear one alone later

On my front brakes, before I switch to a cobra setup. My MM braided fox lines worked fine with a sn95 banjo bolt and sn95 calipers.

You must have ordered something wrong, my MM Brakelines match right up to the hardlines WITHOUT the need of any Weatherhead Adapters and the Banjo Bolt is a perfect fit into my Cobra Calipers.

I don't have cobra calipers nor do I have PBR ones... I have the stock 94-95 calipers... which have a different banjo bolt / braided line.. I accidently bought the MM brake lines for the PBR/Cobra though... that was my problem really... I'll probably just hold onto them until I get around to doing a PBR/Cobra front setup

Just curious as I read your post again... So you got the MM fox lines that go to the pbr style and ran the other banjo bolt and it worked fine?... or did you buy the brake lines designed for the old fox brake calipers and run those with the banjo bolt?

They still should work. Just use the stock banjo bolt for your 94-98 style caliper.
