ok my TC rear is in, now i notice my cars brake line enters pass side of body and TC rear port is driver side of the pumpkin, what did you guys do??Thanks
I plan on running a new rear line, so I guess just try to mate up with the spot on the housing for the soft line
no one knows?
I put a TC rear into my 86 a few months ago and ran into the same problem. Check out my posts on page 5 of this link for how I solved it. http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?28785-Turbo-Coupe-rearend-swap/page5
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks that is what i was thinking, any off the shelf parts used?
Everything was off the shelf at Autozone, nothing had to be ordered. It was quite a bit easier to do than I thought it would be and only ended up taking about 30 minutes.
what car were the parts for?dont have any part numbers do you? Thanks
You're in luck because I save all my car receipts. Here are the Autozone part numbers from the receipt. The brake line was #216044 and cost $4.99. The 3/16 to 1/4 adapter was #976395 and cost $2.99. The union fitting was #844738 and cost $1.49.
I didn't like the adapter fitting I bought there and bought a different one. The one from Autozone had a pretty long flared part and that only allowed it to be screwed in a few threads. I wanted it a bit tighter and ended up stripping it out and had to buy a new one. I remembered that the front driver's side brake also used a 3/16 to 1/4 adapter, but the one I bought for that was steel. I went to Checker and picked up another and was all set. It is an Edelmann #258340 and cost $4.99.
Hope this helps! Let me know if I can help further.
