Help! Fittings for Wilwood Proportioning Valve

I'm trying to help a friend install a Wilwood master cylinder and proportioning valve in his '67. The truck has front discs from a '71 with the 5 lug swapped drums in the rear. We are attempting to attach the original 1/4" rear line to the rear port on the proportioning valve. I'm hoping someone has already done this and can help locating an adapter fitting. What I need is a 3/8"-18 male inverted flare to 7/16" female inverted flare. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This fitting supplied with the M/C has the correct female side but the wrong male side, not inverted flare.

You should be able to find that adapter at Auto Zone, O'reillys or NAPA. It will be brass.

Re: Help! Fittings for Wilwood Proportioning Valve

I found it, Dorman 785-434 in case anyone else needs it. The trick was, the existing line has a larger tube nut to fit the stock proportioning valve, 9/16-18. I couldn't find a fitting with that configuration. Then I realized I needed to make a new line to mate with the existing line due to the positioning of the m/c which will allow me to use 7/16-24 IFF to 3/8-24 IFM fitting. I'll post pics when it's done.
