That unit was for a 2004 mustang---fittings---might have to have an adapter to the 37* but there are fittings that fit those type lines available at any hydraulic supply

I'll post some pics asap!!

When you post pictures can you also point us to which unit you bought (ABS has lots of different products!) and address how difficult it was to re-engineer the system and install the new hardware?

Rodger,,the unit I bought was the "electric high power master cylinder,frame mount with remote fill {part # 10-57} $1,250.00
We mounted the power unit under the car on the frame and put the "fill can" in the trunk.
The master cylinder went in the same place as the old one.
It took My Buddy and Me about 12 hours to install,,had a little oil leak issue because I guess We added too much oil in the "fill can" when it only needs to be filled to the half way mark since it builds pressure as the brakes are used.
Good??

Now that looks like a nice unit. I went to thier catalog and am having a time making sense out of it but i am definatly interested in one of those.
Could you do up a 'product review' for us and a few pics?
Thanks, oj

Yep, just interested in which unit, and like OJH confirmed their catalog is not the most clear layout. Pictures will help show the complexity of the install. Sounds like this was a pretty involved DIY project?
