The rear brake lines from my old focus were so rotten that they came apart in my hand. I bent up some new ones. My bend tool makes the same diameter that ford uses. I figured out that if I put in the old line I can mark where the bend begins, then transfer the mark.
Drivers side brake line and hose:
I thought about transferring the spring on the parking brake cable to the focus cables. But it just seemed like the wrong move. I was worried that the focus cable wouldn't stay clipped into the drum (it is slightly smaller diameter than the mustang cable. I was going to have to weld some large weird brackets to the control arms to hold the cable sheath ends, and that would still point the cables at a weird angle.
I layed out the mustang cable and figured out that it is the right length. So I signed up for some fabricating. More on that soon.
