767Jockey,

I'll set aside a set for you. I think I may have to start making a few more of these!

The original 427 S/C Cobra used a black braided soft hose for the brake reservoir to the master cylinder line. (The 427 street car and the 289 cars used hard lines to the brakes. The clutch used an integral reservoir on the master cylinder.)

I imagine the original soft lines were made by Girling. Today, most everyone uses Gates. Personally, I would opt away from that and use braided stainless. It is smaller and with the teflon lining, it will last for a long, long, long time.
