After waiting for Ford Racing to fix some parts from my cobra brake kit, I finally got the front done. I continued to work on the new booster and master cylinder.

Though maybe at least one of you may be interested in the progress! :)

"relieving" the fenders is a real pita:mad:

Looks great!! Keep up the progress.

Installing that booster was the single worst part about that upgrade.

The repeated filing, pounding, test fitting, wedging btw steering wheel and seat. I never want to do that again.

If you don't have one, invest in a 5lb sledge hammer.
 
What booster and MC are you using?

Also, if you haven't cut and flared the left front brake line for the new fitting at the stock prop valve. Get a quality flare tool!!!!!

I used the cheap one and 6 flares, 4 feet of line later and many leaks later. I went and bought a quality one. Sealed on the first flare.

It's the booster and mc that came with the kit. 94-95 Cobra. I haven't done the flare yet. I think that I am just going to take the entire brake line down to a local shop and have them do the flare and install the fitting. It will be cheaper than me buying the flare tool anyway...

That is the way to go!! I wish I had done this the first time around.
