ktmall07 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I’ve got an 8.8 out of a 99 Explorer (therefore disk breaks) prepped and ready to swap, but the one thing I haven’t figured out is the new brake setup. For those who have done the swap, what did you do for brake fittings? Did you replace lines or could you get away with using stock setups and replacing fittings only? I also don’t currently have a working parking brake, but I’ve got everything setup on the 8.8 to reinstall it. The teeth are stripped on my parking brake pedal, so I was thinking of fabricating a bracket to let me use a handbrake from an XJ. Has anyone done a similar project? Has anyone installed a new parking brake cable for an 8.8 on their truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htchevyii Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Man, it's been like 20 years, but I used 2x Ford Explorer right hand hoses and made new hard lines. These adapters made the OE brake cables fit the Ford calipers. https://www.theflopshopoffroad.com/products/ford-8-8-swap-e-brake-cable-adapters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
