Is there really a good complete manual brake kit?

I just purchased a Strange manual brake kit for my 88 GT. Came in and the brake lines will not connect and even the master cylinder will not bolt up to the firewall plate (wrong size bolts). Does anyone make a manual brake kit that will give you everything you need to compete this conversion?

The strange manual kit is a pretty good kit. Are you sure you ordered the one for the proper year? I have a friend who made that mistake and it didn’t line up for dick. If you did, I’d contact strange and they’ll square you up.

Thanks. I confirmed I ordered the right year. I am going to call Strange tomorrow morning. Something must have gotten screwed up in the packaging. I cant even bolt the included master cylinder to the plate with the supplied hardware.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

There is no a bolt on manual kit that I am aware of. I have the Aerospace one. It did bolt right up to the firewall. You still have to re drill the brake pedal, and make your own brake lines.
