Looks like my brackets should be here Thursday smile

Brake lines came in the mail today. Test fit them onto the caliper. The banjo hole is the correct diameter for the cobra banjo bolt. What I did find though is that the fitting isn't "fat" enough. So I will need to shorten up the banjo bolt, and maybe tap a few more threads onto the banjo bolt. Kind of a bummer, but in the end it's a pretty minor issue.

I also checked out ebay, and saw these bolts for the cobra calipers:

Those are different than the ones I got from Ford Racing Parts. The ones in that auction would work perfect because the distance from the top threads, to the bottom of the bolt head, looks like the right distance. The ones I have, that distance is much larger.

Those are the ones I bought from them. You can see that the threads kind of die off,but it's still kind of threaded, well that part won't thread into the calipers, and is the root of the issue. If it was threaded all the way up, it'd work fine.

But I'll just see if I can modify this one and just run it.

But if anyone else out there is ordering parts, I would recommend NOT buying the banjo bolts from where I did.
