Does anybody have a picture of the underside of the car showing how the rear brakeline is routed?

Thanks,

This is not a Mustang rear end. It's actually a 9-inch (formerly drum brake) rear end that came out of an '80 model Mecury Monarch.

However, the layout and hard brake line attachment points are virtually identicle to what you have with your Mustang's stock rear end housing.

I made the hard brake line from a straight (60") stick of 3/16" brake tubing. The ends of the lines don't terminate as they would for a drum setup, because I'll be using Cobra 11.65" rotors on the rear and not the old drum brakes that were on it.

The rear end with the Cobra brakes installed looks like this;

Ultrastang,

Thanks for the info. You are getting ahead of me though. I wasn't very clear in the first post. I am asking about the hardline that runs from the front to the back in the tunnel. I have new line from classic tube and they just don't seem right. I was going to ask about the rear housing lines next after I get this figured out.

I have been on your site a bit the last couple nights. I am messing around with a booster out of a 94 GT parts car I had. It "might" fit, it might not. I have to put the steering column in tonight and see if it clears.

Mine runs about halfway between the top of the tunnel and the floorpan on the drivers side. At the back of the tunnel it goes about 8" or 10" toward the outside of the car and up, then turns about 120* straight down towards the bracket. The rubber line goes from there between the shock and L exhaust pipe as the pipe goes over the rear end.

Hope this helps.
