Quick Brake line question

[Doug1]

I spoke with Inline tube regarding brake lines for my car and since it has been modified and is not using a stock master cylinder they recommended I run my own lines. I want to use 3/16 stainless with a single flair and they told me that was no problem if I used AN fittings.

So I called Wilwood to find out what to use to make the conversion to their calipers, which use 1/8 - 27 NPT.

Could someone advise me on the best way to do this. Do I put an adapter on the caliper or do I buy a hose that is NPT on one end and AN on the other? I'm guessing 3AN on the AN side.

I did find this on Jegs...




Wilwood 220-6956

Now all I have to do if find the rear T and the outer brake line female ends in -3 AN as well as the master cylinder, prop valve ends...

Do you have Wilwood brakes?If so they may have the 1/8 npt to 3AN fittings already in them if not Jegs or Summit or several places can help you out.

Yes. I bought the kits from Wilwood for the Superlites front and rear. 6p front and 4p rear with 14" rotors. Chev kit for the front and Ford kit for the back.

Wilwood master cylinder and prop valve. Need to plumb in a line lock in to the mix.

I would just have your flex lines in the front made with the wilwood fitting on one end and a -3AN fitting on the other. For the rear, an adapter fitting in the caliper for 1/8 to -3 would probably be easiest.
