Hello all

So I've recently bought a 95 mustang starts and runs like a champ but no brake pressure
Upon attempt to bleed the calipers after replacing brake hoses (caliper to brake line) I noticed about 5 puddles of fresh brake fluid on the ground
What am I in for in terms of changing out my brake lines I'm short on cash and can't afford the shop quote at 6-8 hundred dollars
And also can anyone point me in the direction of a brake line kit

Thanks

Those cars are very abundant in junkyards. If your hard lines are indeed trash, you could get some there for cheap.

Crawl under the car or have it put up on a lift. Start looking for rust and if you find rusty brake lines, the car was probably driven in an area that salted the roads in winter. Then start looking for rust in the front shock strut towers...

Get under it and find the leaks.

Get a cutter and flairing tool. Cut a few inches in front and behind the leak and then replace with fresh line.

Get your car safely up, check to where the leaks are. You can buy brake lines at the parts store. Rent a brake line double flare tool and pick up a small tubing bender and tubing cutter, then make your own. If you mess it up, try again. No way would I pay some shop 6-8 hundred bucks to repair my brake lines.

Exactly my point and that's on the low end they want 900+ if I have abs speaking of which where would I find my abs system and any ideas on material to use for the lines themselves in using double wall steel and it doesn't really wanna come out right when flaring

Also trying to stay away from junkyard cars I'm in Ohio so the rusted brake line issue is very common on the stock lines

One last thing the car was bought brand new and the owner had the car done with all the gt accessories except for the engine and transmission would it be possible to do a gt brake line kit since that would be in my budget without the headache if not what are the differences between the gt and v6 brake lines (been looking for awhile and can't seem to find an answer)

Brakes are the same between GT and V6 in 1995. The bigger differences are between ABS and non-ABS.

dude, go on craiglist, the Corral, or Ebay and you will find dozens of guys parting these cars out. So does MPS, Out to Pasture Pony Parts, and Matt Heimer in South Florida.
