Are any of the other Mustang stainless brake lines compatible with 87-88 TC's? Was going to go through and replace the 30 year old rubber and thinking stainless might be nice. Thanks
I prefer NiCop (Nickel / Copper) brake lines. I buy it on Ebay in rolls. They will never rust, they just develop a greenish patina. They are also very easy to cut, bend and double flare unlike stainless steel which is a royal PITA.

If you have stock ABS MC no pre made Mustang lines will fit. The Tbird has a longer wheel base than the Mustang so any lines made for the Mustang wont reach to the rear.

Thanks for the reply Jeff, I was actually thinking of the rubber sections of the system such as at each wheel. Any of the Mustang flexible stainless lines fit there?
No clue on the Mustang soft lines. Years ago I bought a complete set of braided stainless soft lines from some vendor who no longer exists. They were TC specific so I assume the Stang lines wont fit.
I replaced the rubber lines a couple years ago on my 84. Rockautohad them, seemed of good quality. Dirt cheap and easy to do too.
