Default Brake lines

I bought braided SS lines for all 4 corners but the rear lines are different. I have a ABS equipped car from factory and I only have 1 brake line that runs from the MC to the rear. This means I have a distribution block on the PS rear brake line, the new ones dont have this. Ive went to every parts store in my town and I cant get the right fittings to make these work.

I already mounted the line to the caliper so i cant return these anymore. They are the J&M ones on AM, http://www.americanmuscle.com/9904-s...ake-lines.html

what do? What size fittings are brake lines?

well i might have figured this out. Being a early 99(built in feb) I have brake lines similar to 94-98(if not the same). I have a plan to cut and flare the line from MC, install a brass T fitting, then cut and flare a couple more lines to fit the SS line/connect to DS brake hard line.

So there is a dist block at the PS rear huh?
From that block is where you need your line to go into?

Any way to just add a mini extension from a brake shop?

They can custom make you anything you want, hell you might be better off having them modify the current brake line you have.

Fink, I ran into a problem with my rears too!! My problem is that I could never get them. Every company I looked at only sold the front two. I even had a few tell me that the rear had a full metal line. Well, I crawled under there and sure enough, there is a section that is rubber. But, for some reason they fail to acknowledge this. So, good luck and let me know what you come up with to use.

The distr block is on the PS line that runs to the caliper.

Here is the lines I got...


Here are the lines for 94-98 GT/Cobra... the ones that I should have ordered.


You can see the one line has 2 ports.


POA is to cut main line, flare it and put on brass T fitting. cut and flare some brake line to go from T to caliper line and T to DS hard line. Ill be doing it tonight so I will post pics.
