Asking on behalf of a friend, so I'm in the dark about most specifics.

Car currently has early 90s Fox V8 car spec EVERYTHING brake/suspension wise, but is going to be undergoing various upgrades and changes. Friend needs to know the following:

1.) Where does one adapter fittings to attach SN95 brake lines to fox hard lines? He ordered this kit today: http://www.buyfordracing.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=594cPath=6
2.) What is a good choice for a master cylinder? He currently has stock rear drums, but has everything needed to convert to rear cobra brakes. He will be doing that once the car is "on the road." He's buying one from RockAuto.

That's all I know and what he's asked.

Help?

1) MM sells a buncha fittings and adapters. Mine were in pretty bad shape so I cut them off and replaced them when I installed my PBRs. All I needed was a 7/16-24 male to a 3/8-24 female adapter for one of my brake lines, I got one locally. Ford drives me nuts with thier brake line fittings.

2) something with a 1" bore is popular (93 cobra, lincoln town car, 99-04 V6 stang). He'll basicly have cobra brakes, and the 94/5 cobras used a 15/16s bore. The 1" bore MC will have a stiffer pedal than a 15/16 Cobra MC.

Tell him not to assume that the soft lines are metric just because they're for a newer car. My PBRs used SAE fittings.
