Has anyone ever replaced all the brake lines??

$150 for all SS lines is not bad.

I have my car apart so it's easy access right now.

The thing is, since i have disk brakes on my car, i don't want to get the kit for the normal 5.0 since the durm brake lines are longer.

Should i get them for a '93 Cobra? They use the same brackets at the end like the SN95's.

I'm just concerned about the LC since the cobra is a 2-port, so the lines might be different enough to not work there

93 BRAKE LINE KIT, COBRA, STAINLESS STEEL MUSTANG


Also, i plan on using these Max Motorsports SS lines on the rear end.

Those brake line kits are great, they even have anodized ends!

Great idea...but good question about being different at those areas because what you're doing. Now is the time too...nothing to take apart cause its already done.

Well, i got lucky i guess.

I found a guy on Corral.net selling the rear axle Stainless lines from a '93 Cobra kit since he used all the other lines. So i bought them for $30.

That means I can now just buy the kit for the standard 5.0 and sell someone the drum brake axle lines. I'm sure someone will want a set.


Question is how difficult is it to change all the lines? I still have the engine and trans in the car. Do those need to come out?

I'm now doing the brake lines in my '92 Olds. I have wet lands behind my house. So, things get rusty if they just sit around. I found COATED brake lines on ebay. AWESOME!

If you can not get SS brake lines, these coated brake lines RULE!

Before, I painted and put vacuum hose (a PITA) over brake lines. But, paint scrapes off and you put the brake lines in, and vacuum hose can't cover every little bit. I know, there was a small opening in the vacuum hose as the brake line made a bend, and that corner got rusty and burst on an 6 year old brake line. Yup, wet lands and having cars just sit for months (as I drive the Stang during the summer) is not a good combination at all!

So, if you can, then get SS brake lines. If you can;t get SS brake-lines, then get the coated brake lines.

Also, regardless of what brake line you go with, I suggest lightly spraying the fittings with a zinc coating. That will prevent then fittings from rusting to the what-ever.

Otherwise, for a Fox body, you'll need to remove the booster to replace all of the brake lines, that it. Everything else you can get to. Also, as always, bleed the system properly - with a pressure bleeder. Bleeding a 100% brand new system without a pressure bleeder would be a pain, and good luck really doing a proper bleeding job.

Ah yes, mega salted roads during the winter and humid wet lands during the summer. My poor '92 Olds takes a beating on rust.
