me and a buddy just got done doing this swap to my 99 ranger. i found the writee up over on ranger forums. it would be cool if it could be added to the tech library. i followed everything as it was said. the only problem i ran into was the soft lines. no one had the mustang soft lines in stock. ive done a ton of explorer swaps and the parts store had explorer soft lines in stock. so what i did was get 2 right side soft lines (both single in/out design.) grind down the side of the brake line a little where it fits on to the caliper. and your are going to have to drill out the line for the banjo bolt just a hair bigger. the nice thing about the explorer lines are that they are cheap. about 19 bucks each as opposed to some of the other kits you can get. other than that its a GREAT easy swap. :headbang:
