Wilwood brakes

[Earl Grey]

SEARCH DOWN !

Just had them arrive my new brakes Seem ok on inspection but I have the standard “sierra” BSP fitting on the chim the New willwood calipers I have bought are 1/8th NTP thread.

Does any one know where or what i can use to get the existing brake lines to fit ?

I don’t want to fork out more money for more new brake lines.

I was thinking something like this

If you have the std black brake lines I would replace with braided ones while you have it stripped down. The black ones breakdown and expand under presure reducing performance the braided one eliminate this.

Do you really want a bit of brass designed for a 100psi airline in your brakes? You have just paid a lot of money for some decent brakes, spend an extra 50 quid for new brake lines with the right ends on to do the job properly. Tower View should be able to help. You will be amazed at the improvement. Good luck.

Thanks guys

The brake lines are quite new and are not standard. I was referring to the fact that they the same ends as the standard. Male ends !
I would not use the one shown here on the link as it is for an air line. But I was thinking of something that would do the same job NON brass.

Will have a search for them

Thanks all

Did the same up grade last winter.
This is where got the fittings from and then had some brake lines made to match with a 90 deg swivel fitting at the caliper end.

I had the same challenge, got Rally design to make up a set of front hoses, one warning though is that I've just taken them off after 3 years, and they are heavily corroded on the end fittings mostly on the caliper end, look really bad for only 3 years. The ends were supposed to be zinc coated, but are clearly rubbish.

For a little bit extra you can get stainless fittings. Speak to goodridge I had a custom set made by them very quick turn around and there full stainless. Front two were about £45 all in.
