Hey hows it goin guys, I need help figuring out what kind of brake hoses I need to fit my 1996 Mustang GT. I ordered a set of Cobra Calipers that look just like these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7947287372&category=33563

Okay so I special ordered some brake hoses from AutoZone for a 1996 Cobra, when they arrived the hose didnt bolt on to the caliper. So I figured AutoZone most likely orderd me the wrong lines so I now ordered them through Napa two weeks ago and Im not sure if those are going to fit.

Any suggestions on what kind of brake hoses I need to order? Are the cobra brake hoses universal from years 94-04 since they use the same caliper?

Any helpful knowledge will be greatly appreciated, thanks

No there is a difference in them. Sounds and looks like you need the 99+ brake line kit. Pay a little extra get some stainless lines. Here
Brake lines

Just scroll down abit. You will see the ones for a cobra 99+.

I would contact the seller and ask him WTF? He has probably heard this one before. Good luck
