Hello  
we have a 85 mustang gt that came with a 7.5 rearend, we have a 8.8 out of a 88 gt that we are going to put in everything looks like it will bolt in but the brake hose, the new one we got for the 8.8 bolts up fine to the 8.8 but the steel line coming from the car is the flare type and the new rubber line is a bango type, is there some part that we need from a 86-93 gt or lx 5.0 to make this swap work? (Thanks Kevin)
