Where can I buy this adapter ?

Just go to a parts store, get the hose for a Fox, find the correct steel line/fitting to screw into that then get the hose for an SN95 out and find a fitting that a)will screw into the SN95 hose on the male end and has the right female threads for that piece of steel line(1/4" tube iirc).
Voila.
$.98-way cheaper than PPI

Screw it cut off the fitting on the old fox line and get the 94 up fitting and reflare the line.
I second that. That is how i did it, just one less connection you have to worry about leaking. That old fox fitting may need replacing by now anyways, we all know how soft they are and how tight they become after years of service. If you go this route just remember to use a Double Flare.

everything up front is 1/4" except the drivers front brake line, i just made a new line going to that wheel, also meant i didnt have to make a big deal out of the 3-2 conversion. you can then buy a 1/4x1/4x1/4 t port fitting and you have everything you need to run 3 lines into the master cylinder/prop valve.

The cobra and standard sn95 softlines have different size fittings? I was unaware that the v6/GT sn95's needed an adapter for cobra brakes. Reason why I ASSumed the cobras were the same as v6/GT's.

From mustangparts website:
"1979-93 front passenger-side brake hose adapter fitting, a "must have" when installing 1994-04 brakes on 1979-93 Mustangs, new... view"

Are we all on the same page here? Or was the original poster concerned only with the rear hardlines?

I've been referring to the front brakes here.. so i only need 1 fitting, only on the passenger side to adapt the SN95 flex line to the fox hard line?

Yes...it just got discussed quite a bit here.

Are you referring to the fitting of a SN95 Cobra being different than a SN95 GT? When I upgraded my GT to Cobra brakes the Cobra brake lines bolted right up to the GT's hard lines.
Sounds right to me.

I never asked anything about Cobra brakes or fittings...in my original post I was asking about the adapter for SN95 V6/GT FRONT soft lines to fox hardlines :)

I'm still wondering where Cobra came up in all this??? ;)

I'm still wondering what the hell is going on in this thread. Are you not getting it???

The SN95 Cobra, GT, and V6 softlines appear to be the same.

You need an adapter anyway you look at upgrading if you are using the stock SN95 softlines. And the only adapter you need is for the passenger side.
The only reason I ever mentioned cobra brakes is because I happened to have upgraded to cobra fronts and not regular SN95.

Here's a pic of mine:

I got it now man, I got the adapter right here on front of me...When you mentioned Cobra, it threw me off because when I went to the part store and bought the new softlines, they were saying the softlines for the Cobra were different then the V6/GT...

Thanks for the pic:)

Of course the softlines are going to be different. Each model is using a different caliper. But they all have the same threads mating to the hardline, hence the need for an adapter. Glad we are clear now. ;)
