Thanks to Stangnet :SNSign: I have found this kit http://www.buyfordracing.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=592 by using the search function. I tried to order it but they told me the brake lines are on Back order. I can buy the kit for $30.00 less w/o the lines, if I want.

My question is will these lines work instead?

Also what else will I need for the install?(brackets, bolts, etc) I plan on just dropping my car off at a local garage so I want to make sure they have everything they need to do it.

And... is there a less expensive way to get the SS brake lines?

That should be all you need.

I needed to buy new caliper bolts since mine didn't want to come out... but most guys have no problem with this.

I thought my kit was going to come with SS line but they were just rubber replacements. The brake pedal feel is superbe with them and there is no brake fade ( that I can feel anyways). I'd say go with the ones in the kit and you'll be more than happy. Just make sure they come with new banjo bolts and copper crush washers, as the GT banjo bolts won't work on the Cobra calipers.

That's the problem. The lines for the kit are on back order. I need to find replacements for the lines. I found the ones on ebay (the link in my org. post) so I wanted to know if they would work just as well.

Oh sorry bro, I guess I didn't read you original post thoroughly enough. I don't have the exact answer for you on where to get them, but if worse comes to worst get stock replacement ones from Ford. I can't fathom my pedal being even MORE firm with SS lines, but I guess everyone says they notice a difference

I bought the Mach 1 brakes from buyfordracing. The lines were on back order when I got mine last year so I just took the $30 dollars off and had them send me rubber lines. Best 276 dollars I have spent on the car.

Never mind the Seller from Ebay says they will not work.
