Calling those that have a ford 9 inch

Ok my moser ford nine inch is in my car and I just need to hook up the brakes. Today I went to run new hard lines from the "T" at the end of the rubber hose that mounts to the original rear end but the brakes are not set up for this. The brake are ford explorer 11" disk brakes and from what I have seen I believe that the calipers are set up to take a rubber brake hose attached with a 3/8x24 banjo bolt and sealed with a copper washer (like our front calipers).

What has everyone been using to run there brake lines. I quickly looked on summit and found a 3/8x24 banjo to 3/8 addapter but am unsure what the thread is on a standard brake line.

My next question has to do with the parking brake, can I adapt my stock ones? What do most people do.

Thanks

Rear disc's almost always, if not always, connect with the rubber flex hose. Just get the flex hoses for an explorer and go from there.

They have rubber hoses on them cause the calipers move.
If they are bad replace the rubber hoses, use adapters to hook them to a steel line, then run to your t like it was before.
