Title: Things that make you go hmmmmm.....
Post by: cougarman on September 24, 2011, 05:13:20 PM
While I was plumbing the new brakes today on the Sport, I found out that it has a 1/4" rear brake line just like a TC. It also had the center mounted rear brake hose that hooked right to the TC rear I installed, weird. It is an '88, so maybe Ford was using whatever parts they had lying around....lol.:hick:

I wish I'd have thought to look under my white '88 when we were putting it on the trailer...

My Cougar has alot of wierd things like that. No hood springs, but has the brackets for them installed. I have TC like sway bars, both front and rear are very big compared to the stang one I grabbed off a junk GT. My Uncle had a 3rd brake light installed :D
