Plumbing for Wilwood rear drum to disk conversion?

[jeburgoyne]

So I finally got around to putting my rear drum to disk conversion kit on my '68..trouble is, the fittings on the dynalite calipers are 1/8 NPT and that somehow needs to go to 7/16 x 24 on the hard line on the chassis. For the life of me I can't figure out how that works..doesn't seem like I can go anywhere from 1/8 NPT..any suggestions?

Could not resist the urge. Use to live in Camarillo, up in old town.

You buy the appropriate adaptor. They come in different angles, straight, 45 deg 90 deg Usually 1/8 PT male to -3 or -4 male, then use the appropriate flexline to connect to the hardline. Usually you completely redo the entire line set. I wouldn't buy from Wilwood as they are way over priced, Summit will be your better choice.

Ok, so now I've gotten it from two 1/8 NPT lines tee-d to a single -4 AN line. I don't think there's such a thing as a -4 to 7/16 x 24 adapter (can't find one), so I'm thinking ill cut the old fitting off, put a -4 line nut on there, and re-flare it. What do you guys think of that? Also, I know the help you guys can give is limited without pics, Ill take some today and post them. EDIT: Turns out they do make those. I figured it was something dumb that I missed.

Just have flex hoses made to fit both ends, they sell them, usually braided stainless steel. For a clean job make new shorter hard lines and use the braided lines to the calipers.
