9 inch brake line questions....

I have Wilwood's , since it is a fixed caliper you just run hard lines to the calipers.

I have quite a lot of 1/4" line leftover. Do you happen to know what thread the fitting is on the caliper?

wilwood's use 1/8-27 npt fitting at the caliper

I mounted my T block in a Stockish location and bent hard lines close to the caliper mounts to tabs welded on the housing. I finished with 10" wilwood braided lines. I need to relocate the drivers side line more to the rear of the housing due to some contact with my exhaust tube. But otherwise it works perfectly.

I gotta question for you, how are you going to mount the pigtail springs on those spring perches?. 🤔

where did you get those spring perches, I was looking for the type you have but I could only find the ones that fit a 5" spring. I ended up using the spring perches I cut off the 8.2 to sit them on the middle of the tube

Quickperformance built the axle housing for me. They or Ballistic Fabrication have all kinds of goodies for driveline fabrication.

Do yourself a favor and have a short flex hose where the line meets the caliper,that way you can remove it and not fight the hard line.if i remember ill snap a pic of mine Sunday.
