Help with part numbers for a cobra front brake swap

mell0 · April 5th, 2010, 02:56 PM

alright guys, so i know the cobra/mach1/bullitt brake swap is pretty common, and i know there are a bunch of threads on the topic but i couldn't find the exact info i was looking for. so anyways, i got a killer deal on some front black cobra calipers, but unfortunately they do not have the front caliper brackets. does anyone have a good place to buy the brackets from (besides SVTperformance, i posted a WTB on there) for a reasonable price? or if you guys have the ford part number that would be just as helpful.

and besides the rotors, pads, calipers, and caliper brackets what else to i NEED? i know the master cylinder and brake lines are recommended. so do i need those banjo bolts? anything else?

thanks guys.

yeah. i have the calipers, lines, pads, and rotors. i just need the brackets and any different hardware.

u can go to latemodelrestoration.com and get all your brake hardware, the brackets on their website is about $100 for each side, so a little over $200 for the front. not sure what other hardware you will need, but they have all the small stuff and banjo bolts.

damn that's steep. i actually found the part number and i can get them from ford for $82 a side, but i'm trying to see if i can find them cheaper used, or from someone else.

i see alot of people say stuff about the lines/banjo bolts and all...but when i did my swap i just unthreaded my stock brake lines from my GT calipers and switched them right over to the cobra calipers. nothing extra needed doing it that way.

sometimes you can find just the caliper brackets on EBay. I know MPS can sometimes be pricey but try asking them. they gave me a good deal on just a pair of Cobra Calipers.

lol i know that's why i said i don't need them

From what I understand all you need is the banjo bolts for the Front Brake swap. the Rears swap is what you need all the new brackets for.

explains what you need for the swap:
