    Brake Hose/Bracket Help

    I have mounted my front and rear calipers on my 69 Coupe 4 Disc Conversion Project.
    I used 2003 Mustang Mach 1 calipers for both.
    The bracket conversion kit is from Mustang Steve.
    Before I can start fabricating brake lines I need to by 2 hoses for the front and 2 for the rear.
    I also need brackets for the hoses to mount to.
    These projects can be overwhelming at times as there is so much out there that I am afraid to buy the wrong parts.
    Mustang Steve, if your reading do you sell these hoses I need?Brackets?

    If not can someone please point me in the right direction.
    Thanks

    Re: Brake Hose/Bracket Help

    Because the 69 has the frame bracket attached to the flex line, some work is needed to mount the newer Cobra lines. On my 69 I picked up some generic brackets, and hand filed the hex hole for the flex line to mount. The parts store said 94-04 brake line brackets are no longer made.

    Re: Brake Hose/Bracket Help

    Check out 69-70 front hoses for disc brake cars.  They have the bracket attached.  You can file off part of the brass block on the caliper end so the block will bolt up.  In the rear, use 2005 or newer rear brake hoses and trim part of the bracket off so it can be mounted to the axle housing.  You can also run the hoses straight up to the frame to eliminate the need for a center hose or any hoses/lines on the rear axle.  Just use a "T" in the hard lines on the car body to reach each hose.

    Example shown is with GT calipers, but hoses work on COBRA as well.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Thanks for the feedback. Hoses ordered and I am going to fab some brackets.
