fun brake tech?

skipnrocks · Feb 7, 2018

I am running a ford mustang hydro boost setup in my kids buggy. It has a metric outputs to the brakes,

Here are my questions, I want to convert one of the ports to -an 4 fitting to go to the flex line that I have but the hydraulic shop doesnt know how to adapt it because they cant find a fitting. So my three questions are

1: does anyone know what metric brake lines go into them
2: they have a different flare than normal brake lines is it called an inverted flare?
3: Third is there an adapter fitting that goes directly to an line?

surprise fourth question is does it matter what port on the MC goes to front or rear axle?

I did a quick search and I'm seeing it used a bubble flare rather than inverted flare. M10 and m12 if the info I found is correct.

I usually go dig through the fittings bins at the parts store to find adapters for brake lines.

Yes bubble flare that's what it's called. Have you ever seen an adapter to -an fittings from that?

Look at Summit or Jeggs

I know they have bubble to IF fittings and IF to AN. Might have to go that way.

You'd have confirm the thread pitch by getting a bolt to run in each hole...but these seem to be what you need...

You could also stack a bubble to inverted flare adapter and an inverted flare to AN adapter.

I have done this on a F250 MC. Sourced the fittings from Summit. What year Mustang? Rockauto list the port specs under the blue info box sometimes.

edit. looks like M10 and M12 on a 2002 with a 1.062" mc

(www.summitracing.com/parts/fra-650307/overview/) That is -3 AN didn't see -4?

What about which port goes to which axle? Furthest port to the rear?

clemsonjeep · Feb 8, 2018

I would guess the port closest to firewall would be for front brakes. Do you know what year the master cylinder is from?

skipnrocks · Feb 8, 2018

I think it's from a 2002. But I don't know for sure.

You could also have the line custom made with the fittings you need on either end. When I made the brake lines for my current build that is what I did. I did have to purchase a double flaring tool but I believe some of the parts stores rent them out.

Be cautious with this. I done this and when a line fails you are SOL because it is all "custom". Much better off to use the adapters and a standard AN line that is easy to source.
