    or anyone use stainless lines on their maverick?

    im also interested in a complete stainless brake line set. I seem to remember seeing one specifically made for mavs/comets a while back somewhere... anyone heard of it?

    They have the patterns.

    woohoo! too cool. check this out, under thier Printable Parts Catalog, choose Mustang. Maverick and Comet are on the last page! Not as expensive as I thought!

    Thanks Mav.

    I supplied them with the disc brake lines for my car....so they should have those as well.

    Craig; all they have listed is power disc. Did you give them the lines for manual disc, or are they the same? Thanks,

    Earl

    The front lines are the same. The line that goes from the prop valve to the passenger front line is different. I have one that I am going to take them for a pattern.

    Hey, more brake line questions: if I'm running aftermarket front disc's, and drums in the rear, what brake lines should I get from Right stuff?

    thanks!

    It depends on what mc set up you are running. I kept the original drum set up and just added the disc so mine is all original type. If you converted to a disc mc when you did your swap, you will need those lines.
