Just bought this from a guy that didn't know much about what this car had done so he doesnt have the answers I need to figure the small things out. For example the brakes...the first question is what year cobra brakes are these? The second question is what year/model did the brake line coming off of the brake come from? It has an unusual bend to it, I was at autozone and we looked up every year mustang/cobra to find a match and nothing. One thing I do know is the aluminum square that attaches to the caliper had a small lip on one side that was machined down. Which tells me that it is not from the same year as the caliper. It has 18" wheels if that helps.

Any ideas on where the brake line connected to the caliper is from? It has a unique bend to it.

There should be a part number on the top of the caliper, that can tell you what year its from.

Looks like I am going to use the 95 cobra brake line I have, machine the lip off the aluminum and use my tube bender to ensure to rubbage. I will fill everybody in on the status in a week or so.
