sn95 brakes....

[Chuckman]

So where did you get the lines im pieceing my 5 lug stuff as well and i have the following:

94 spindles/hub
moser fox length axles
5 lug drums
99 gt calipers/rotors

not to sure what else i need and i haven't heard of this adapter they are speaking of

any info on this would be great and a list of other stuff would be good

from my understanding, you can get the right lines from maximummotorsports.com and not have to worry about any line adapters, plus theyre braided stainless. just check whether your calipers have a fine or coarse thread for the banjo bolt and order the corresponding lines.

im going to be doing this within the next few months too, my shopping list so far:

94-95 spindles
bullit calipers/rotors
mm front fox->sn95 lines
93 cobra mc (to feed the bigger calipers)
mm 3-2port conversion
strange 5lug fox length axles
5lug drums (for now)

anything else i should be looking at right now? im keeping rear drums for now so i can spend some money on bodywork and go-fast goodies.

3 -2 port conversion still?? and should i gut my stock pv and go with an adjustable prop valve. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you still need to do a 3-2 conversion, gut your stock prop valve and run an adjustable valve. Do not use the SN95 prop valve.

You have everything you need off the SN95 except for the above parts, the pass side adapter fitting and the rear soft-line adapters. I beleive there is a part number floating around. It's a weatherhead fitting. It's an adapter that will adapt your hard lines where the bolted to the drums into the soft-line brackets for the rear disks.

so if i get these brake lines i won't have to worry about this so called adapter
MM: part # MMbk6f

they have two diff kinds one for fine/coarse thread

No idea on the part numbers (i'll look thru my receipts tomorrow if you really want me to) but as long as they don't have the square heads they will line up right (from what I'm told by others who did the same thing).

Also on the rears, I took softlines and hardlines out of my sourced '96 Cobra, and transferred everything straight to my Fox with no extra fittings. Again, less possible 'things to leak later' for extra insurance Might be somethin to think about; if you can grab them easily and cheap (can't imagine those being costly at a junk yard or parts car!), then why not go for it.

Now the funny: with all those 'less things to go wrong' in place, I ended up tweeking my brakes at one point and the front braided line was too close to the wheel. Drove about 3 hours in total and upon coming to a toll booth I BLEW THE BRAKELINE and had zero brakes. The braided line wore thin from rubbing on the wheel so long, and then it just pierced the rubber hose. I heard a pop and my foot hit the floor. Talk about scary, but thank God I was slowing down and was nearly at a roll. Blew past the toll booth and kinda limped the car back to it to pay (the guy had a huge WTF look on his face ) and then limped 'er across the street to a parking lot to get out and see what heck happened. At least it was an easy fix and avoidable future happening Oh, the e-brake, as it ever was, was useless. NIce to know I have it

The moral of this story is: make sure your brakelines don't rub on your wheels!

EDIT: My calipers are Mach 1/Bullitt/etc. calipers and have the fine threading for the banjo bolts. I believe the GT/V6 calipers have the coarse threading but am not 100% on that...

 

[El_CUCUY]

cool that would be great

How much are you guys paying for axles?
I want to just get a set of Ranger axles but the junkyards around here either dont have them or they want $40-50 for them.

Picked up some 95 Cobra axles from a friend for $50. I wanted the extra spacing back there for the good looks. I think I saw Ranger axles around the yards for up to $75 a pair though.

Ford changed it around quite a bit. The 94-98 Cobra calipers were fine thread, but then Ford went to coarse thread on the 99+ Cobra calipers.

The GT/V^ calipers were fine thread up til either 00 or 01 and then went to coarse thread.

Ford is weird

I would NOT use the Calipers from that car, do yourself a HUGE favor and at least get Aluminum PBRs from a 99-04!!!

Yes and they are cheap.... I think the pair was under $50.The twin pistons are great plus they look great if you polish them.
