Just bought a set of Mach1 brakes (calipers and lines) front and rear came right off the car
im picking up the 13 inch rotors tomorrow

however i dont know if i am going to need any sort of banjo bolts or brackets...
looked all over and i see mixed responses some do some dont.

its an 01 GT btw.

You will need the caliper mounting brackets for the ones up front for sure, as the rotors are larger than your stock ones. I think the rear should also be larger as they are the same ones as the Cobra.

I upgraded to Cobra brakes and needed BOTH sets of caliper brakets on front/rear. Were the lines SS? I recommend you go SS on all four lines and flush the fluid with at least DOT 4 or Super Blue fluid. You may end up on the track one day and will be better under extrememe conditions.

PS. You are gong to want at least a 17" wheel up front to clear the rotors

rman101

well im getting the same size rotors wont be keeping the GT rotors. i thought that since they came off his car they might have the brackets attached to the caliper.
The rear ones came with a bracket on each one (marked L or R almost a golden color)

and yeah i plan on getting SS lines to replace the stock ones.
Already running 17inch 10th anniversary Cobra's

any one else ? what about banjo bolts?

rman101

i bought a set of brakes that came off an 03 cobra and i didnt have to buy banjo bolts seperately. i just used my stock bolts and they're still holding. i am going to be helping a buddy swap his out today so i'll let you know how that one goes

rman101

hope the year of the car doesnt make a difference (with the banjo bolts)
did you have to get brackets? def. lemme know how it goes i appreciate it.

i know when i did the swap on my 04 gt the front banjo bolts where different
but in you case it you got the calipers and lines off the car you should be all set
and for the rears you have to get ne brackets to fit the calipers and rotors

imho i would just get brackets and move your stock calipers because cobra mach1 calipers are the same except for the bracket that hols the pads is different thats it
but you DO need the larger bracket to fit the 11.65" rotor on the rear

i just put buillit brakes up front on my car. they are the same as the mach1's as far as i know. i reused the stock hardware.

rman101

well thats 2 saying they used stock hardware.
1 saying i need new ones.
Cobra no offense but i couldnt really follow that second part.
Eduardo - how'd things go?

cobra dreamer

no problem i was a little fuzzy when i typed that

but what i was saying is that the cobra,mach1,bullit and gt rear calipers are the same
except for the bracket that attaches to the axle tube.it ca be a pita to get the e brake cables back on
so what i was saying is just get the bracket and use the calipers that are on there now cause there is no difference and it will save you some time

and the other thing is if you are really stuck on doing the rear you are gonna have to pull the axles out to get the new bracket on its just a lot of work for a bigger rotor that really
dont do much
the only reason i did mine is cause i was doing new axles and diff at the time other wise i would have just left them stock
