hey doing a 5 lug swap on my 85 gt, and I dont understand what is up with the front brake lines, I really dont understand it at all, and you really dont see any pictures of the lines when people do this swap, Im running stock 95 mustang v6 calipers, so If I use the 95 banjo bolt, will my existing 85 front lines bolt up to the 95 caliper. If not what eaxctly do I need to make them bolt up to the 95 caliper. And If I kept my rear brakes stock, will I still have to modify my porporting valve.

Use the Sn95 brake lines, the drivers side hardline should be the same thread count as the brake line, on the passenger side you will need to get an adapter fitting to get it to work. I'll have to try and find my list to let you know the sizes. If you keep drum brakes in the rear then no you will not have to modify the porportioning valve. If you change them to disc you will have to gut the stock porportioning valve and install the ford plug and add an adjustable proportioning valve where the check valve on the passenger side is.
