Fox rear brake line to rear end issue

[Baron Von Crowder]

I'm scratching my head on this one. On our mustang coupe and our fairmont, the rubber line that connects to the body's hard brake line and has a T at the rear end has a flare fitting to the body.



We have ordered two different times from two different places beaded stainless lines, and they both have a banjo fitting on this end. We've scrounged the junk yards looking to find a mustang that has this to no avail.



I can have a line made, but I'm still out overnight charges and I'm getting crunched for time. Does anyone know of a fitting that will take us from the flare fitting on the body's line to the banjo fitting on the beaded line?

The fairmont was a 6cyl, the coupe *could* have been, but I dont think it was, everything was v8 and stock on it.

The line shows the same 87-98, but we looked at 3 cars at the yard, they were either completely different or the same rbber to flare that ours has. None had a banjo.

The softline on your coupe reminds me of 4cyl car or one for a 7.5 rear end.

I have that line already. Maximum told me the line I need is not available, and to change my car to fit what I have, but couldnt help with how to do that.

Im seeing conflicting parts interchange, some sights show a difference in v8 to 4cyl, some show all fox and early sn95 to have the same line.

It does appear that there was a change for the V8 cars somewhere in the early 90's, and I need that fitting to make this work.

You'll need to change the hardline from the passenger side firewall area all the way back to the rear end, that's what I use to do on 4cyl to 8cyl conversions.

There is a difference in V8 to 4cyl brake lines, I've done close to 10 4cyl conversions ranging from '87-'93 and have always swapped out the brake line going from the engine compartment all the way to the rearend. Throughout all of those conversions I never had an issue bolting the banjo bolt to the body.

that's goign to be tough, the fairmont is 4.5" longer than a fox, and it is run in a completely differnt way.

What if you cut the correct line that bolts to the body, flared it, and use a compression fitting to connect it together? Something like this but more so towards the rear of the car?

Hell you dont need rear brakes. You'll prob have to go custom.
