      wilwood caliper help needed

      trying to get the last of my plumbing done, and am having problems getting the lines to the calipers...the problem is that the calipers have a 1/8-27 npt thread. i can not find anyplace that sells a banjo bolt to fit these calipers. i have all new brake lines, and have the SS braided lines going to the calipers with no way to attach them .

      what are you guys using with the wilwood calipers? i am at a loss, and can't seem to figure out where to go from here...any and all help would be great. thanks.

      I usually go from the caliper with a 1/8 pipe to a male -3 a/n fitting and connect it to my hard line using the appropriate steel braided line for the connection.

      so if i do that i won't be using a banjo bolt on the front calipers...right? then all i would need to do is get a ss line to go from the hardline to the 3an fitting. i understand how the back lines would connect, am i understanding right that the fronts would be the same? thanks for the help guys...

      would it work for the fronts if i used these parts together, and be able to still use my front ss lines?

      Wilwood calipers even the GM styles do not use a banjo- they use a 1/8 pipe fitting. So you will have to convert the lines to a AN style or hard line using a 1/8 to a inverted flare.

      Exactly why we provide the lines and all the bits with our kits.

      Hopefully we got you squared away yesterday Jeff. Next time you will buy your brakes from us, LOL!

      Sorry, could not help myself.
