Title: 91 GT brakes on a 88 T-bird
Post by: quick50stng on April 14, 2009, 07:44:19 AM
Ok, So I picked up 91 GT rack, spindles, rotors, calipers, dust shields, brake lines, and struts last night. I'm swapping it all over this week. What exactly needs to be done to hook up the GT lines to the T-bird hard lines. I see in the tech section something about a brass fitting but no part number or anything. HELP

I don't know the exact size of the fitting adapter you'll need, but...I don't think the struts will be what you want, as they're too short for Tbirds and Cougars. Everything else sounds good, I'd probably spring for new pads though...

Most of the time a 1/4"-to-3/16" adapter is needed, but you will need to double check this, as some years and models may have different sized brake lines.
