Go here, it is the bible for these swaps:

Please read this then read it again. I swear by it and it took many years to compile and is one of the most comprehensive sites on the net.

Your luckier than I am, the advanced near me said they were not available. They could order a different brand at $92 plus $75 core and I don't have a core. I'm away and will be back sunday to open the boxes from unlimited. Can't wait

Order the front calipers for a 2003 Mach 1. They are the same as the Cobra calipers but sans any writing or logos. You may be able to source the caliper bracket at AutoZone.

The systems on these cars are meant to have one line running to the rear and then split to the brakes. One the site I posted above it tells you how to gut the stock proportioning valve and install the manual proportioning between the rear brakes and the factory proportioning/shuttle valve.

you can get the rear brackets, but not the front. At least not from the Zone near my house. They don't show any available.

Well, I ordered the front calipers from Advanced yesterday. Hopefully they will have the brackets.
