    The attraction I read out of junrai's post is that the Ranger MC fit the car without brake line mods. Junrai stated, ".......... I didnt have to change anything else. the lines fit right it no adapters nada bolt in bleed and go."

    That is why I asked the question, " did the 97 Ranger have 4 wheel disk brakes?"

    I can't see how it fits as the port threads are metric...

    Port location is correct...

    I used ALL of my original brake lines. The two that go into the master are the same original lines, but I did grind the flares off the master end, switched the fittings to match the new master, and then re-flared. I only lost about an 1/8" of total line.

    yes...we did two cars in one day in my shop...:thumbs2:
    cars we have CV rear disk on...Mine, Tims, Earls, Jeffs, Terrys and Mike has a set for one of his mavs.
    I have a writeup on here somewhere on how to hook up the CV E-brake cable to the stock E-cable...:yup:
    also get the hard line fitting off the donor car (it's metric).
    PM me if there any other questions I could help you with.
