The rear calipers say M10x1.5 inlet on the Wilwood calipers I'm using on the rear axle of my 71 Firebird. Do I need some type of adapter from here to my original rear lines? The original lines threaded on but never actually sealed. It's almost as if a bolt like on the front is needed. That would require a flexible line though if I'm not mistaken.

Can't you just use a banjo fitting?

Yeah what Andrew said. You probably need a banjo fitting with an AN on it, then a 3/16 inverted flare adapter on the line to your hard line, and a flex in between.

I'm thinking there should be an adapter for the hard line to the caliper. A banjo bolt would be for a flexible line as far as I know.

Possibly something like this: http://www.daymotorsports.com/proddisp.php?ln=14898&product=BRAKE+CALIPER+FITTING&partnumber=BF-5080&description=Needed+to+connect+metric+GM+calipers+d irectly+to+the+plastic+brake+line

Might work.
