Rear Brake Lines
Can some one get me a pic of how the rear line is ran from the front to the rear? I need to swap over to the 8.8 brake line setup and was curious on how it is routed to the axle. Now that I lowered my car my passenger tail pipe hits my distribution block that sits on the axle with the 7.5 rears.

RE: Rear Brake Lines
Ok, so I just need a longer piece that I connected to awhile back when my line broke and take it to the center. Does the flex line come with the block to split the rear? I seen MM's steel braided line that does and wasn't sure. I can just go to the part store and get some lengths of brake line and do the whole rear on my own and just get the flex line and some fittings. Do you think that my pipe hitting the cap on my dist. box will cause any damage? Do you know how that block is attatched to the axle housing??

RE: Rear Brake Lines
the brake line comes on a bracket that bolts to a pre drilled hole in the housing and the fitting that the brake line connects to on the body....like I said you'll need to get that assembly from a 5.0 in a salvage yard.. I got mine from cj pony parts.. they have a salvage yard of mustangs

RE: Rear Brake Lines
I am gonna check out the junk yard near here when I go looking for a rear sway bar sometime this week. I wish I had a mustang yard near me to go looking for good parts. Most of the bodies around here 4 cyl's and not worth much for little parts like this.
