Wilwood Plumbing

[griff]

I am looking for any tips you guys might have on plumbing the brake lines on my 68” Camaro. I am installing a Wilwood master cylinder and Wilwood disc all around. I am not a very experienced tube bender but I guess I will learn.

Any recommendations on supplies and where to get them? I was going to order a stainless, disc brake conversion kit from Inline Tube and use what I could out of the kit. Any input is appreciated.

The inline tube stuff is great. No matter what you will need to modify the rear disc lines into the calipers. A good double flare tool will serve you well.

This tool is designed for single flare 37 degree flare applications. This tool provides smooth, uniform flares for A/N connections using steel or stainless tubing.

This is the one I was going to order.

inline sells a ss kit with straight sections for you to bend.
comes with a bunch of hw and fittings etc.
I did my 68 camaro in wilwoods a few months ago.
it was my first experience bending and flaring.
had no problems but I did spring for an expensive flaring tool.
every flare turned out perfect from the get go.
I did not go with modding a pre-bend kit due to the expense
and having to add extra (unclean) bends.
besides when you are done you can always resell the flare tool.

Is a single flare for fuel lines and double flare for brakes?

Is a single flare for fuel lines and double flare for brakes?Pretty much. You can use a crush sleeve as well on SS lines as the harder more brittle material needs a little more sealing power.

Does anybody now can the Rigid 377 do a double flare for a brake line?

[thedugan]

also I'd like to use this as its the best tool I have for stainless line. I used it for my fuel line AN fittings and it worked real well

Well its snowing so great day todo car projects. If anyone knows if the 37 is cool for brake line fittings let me know.
