I'm planning on ordering a bunch of fittings to do my brake lines. Here's what I have so far. This is for the rear housing. What fittings would I need to do the front end leading to the back of the car. I have 4 wheel discs with a Wilwood master.

http://www.summitracing.com/search/?...=fbm5769&dds=1 (http://www.summitracing.com/search/?keyword=fbm5769&dds=1) One of these for the passenger side. Will connect to a hose that will run to the caliper.

http://www.summitracing.com/search/?...=fbm5030&dds=1 (http://www.summitracing.com/search/?keyword=fbm5030&dds=1) Four of these, one for each caliper.

http://www.summitracing.com/search/?...=fbm5556&dds=1 (http://www.summitracing.com/search/?keyword=fbm5556&dds=1) Two of these for the bulkheads.

http://www.summitracing.com/search/?...=fbm5815&dds=1 (http://www.summitracing.com/search/?keyword=fbm5815&dds=1) One of these for the driver's side. Will connect to a hose that will connect to the caliper. Another hose will run off the top to the hard line on the rail.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is there a reason your opting for aluminum AN fittings rather than the more typical zinc plated steel fittings used in brake systems?

I didn't realize that zinc plated steel ones were more the norm. Good thing I haven't ordered yet. The only reason I picked those is they had the fittings and sizes I needed. After looking at some pics of bentfab's, I've decided to do it a little differently so won't be getting those anyways. Thanks for the heads up though Tobin.

So let us in on what Bent Fab suggested you to use there?

Wasn't a suggestion from him...I was looking at the Tubular Tuesday thread he started on lateral-g. I was going to run the brake line along my rear housing using the fitting I have above. There was a pic in the Tubular Tuesday that showed the brake line running along the frame rail and stopping just above the brakes and using a braided line down to the caliper. So I was thinking about running hard line along the driver's side rail, teeing it off somewhere in the rear section and running a hard line to the passenger side and having both stop above the rear brakes and then using a braided line to connect. That way I won't have to do anything to the rear housing as I already have it power coated and I forgot to add any clamps for brakes lines before.
