I'm piecing together the brake hardware for throwing an 8.8 under the XJ. I've read that it may be possible to use the ford soft lines that go from the frame to the driver's side caliper and the axle hard line.
---> Has anyone successfully used those lines, or have they had to put something else in?
My 8.8 was removed from its vehicle and all lines to it were cut (2 ebrakes and the driver's side T-line). Then, the calipers were removed, cutting the 2 soft lines going to them. So this is what my situation is:
Currently, I have an 8.8 with:
rotors (surface rust)
caliper brackets (no calipers)
original hard line
Going to buy:
Calipers (left and right)
Passenger side rubber brake line
Driver's side line ?????? or fab something to work with the XJ
Reusing:
my E-brake cables - gonna do the wrap around thing...
any other comments on getting my XJ to use this axle's brakes, tell me!
