Brake Line question

[PaulW]

I as most of you have discovered that there are readily available substitutes for almost all of the donor mustang parts. However it appears that Murphy's law has caught up with me on this one.

I only failed to remove one part from the donor and that was the brake line fitting that is attached to the body at the rear and is part of the transition to the flex line that goes down to the centre of the housing. I kept the flex line which of course is a square banjo type fitting. So without the matching frame mounted piece I have no idea how to complete this connection. Since I did the rear disc conversion I suppose I could go with separate flex lines from each caliper and use a tee union to connect at one side and then carry hard line to the other and use a 90 degree elbow there. I have noted that a number of vendors sell these types of lines.

Is this my only choice or is there a way to keep the centre single connection?

I think mark reynolds at breeze carries them. If not, then go with seperate lines. You need flex lines anyways at the calipers

X2 Breeze.

Do you mean this one:




It is a discontinued Ford part. I hope one of the vendors has them.

Greg,

Ahhhh yes that would be the one. Looks like separate lines then.

We have them in stock $40.00 its part of our line kit and while braided ss its also DOT approved!

If you have disc brakes, its easier to just run separate lines to each side of the frame. You need flex lines at the calipers anyway, one less hose in the middle.

Correct, it is no longer a Ford service part with no superceded replacement. You have a couple of options. Run a T and then two separate lines to the calipers (like the Breeze kit) or you can simply get an adapter from the 3/16-inch hard line to run an AN -3 hose to the axle. I presume this is what Forte has that Steve mentions above, but I got mine through Disc Brakes R-Us and they even have an option for a longer AN hose for more axle travel (the stock rubber line is actually pretty short)...

HTH...
