For anyone that's done this change over, am looking for some help.

In the process of installing a Wilwood set up which uses all 3/16" brake lines (3/8"-24 inverted flare) .
Since I have removed the factory brake proportioning valve , what do I do with the large 1/4" rear brake line (9/16" - 18 inverted flare) formerly attached to the rear of the factory proportioning valve?
Can I adapt down to 3/16" brake line to connect it all up and call it a day?
If so, how did you accomplish this?

Alternatively, thinking of pulling out the existing 1/4" rear brake line and feeding in a new 3/16" line to the rear.
How difficult is this to do. Looks like this rear brake line is run inside the frame rails.

Any feedback or tips would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

dave

why not use an adapter


If I could find an adapter ( or group of adapters) I'd go this route.
Need to find 9/16" - 18 female inverted flare x 3/8" - 24 inverted flare (female or male)

I've got my hands on a 9/16" - 18 Male inverted flare x 3/8" - 24 female inverted flare....just need to find a 9/16" - 18 Inverted Flare Union Coupling & I'd be all set.

Any suggestions?
Don't really want to remove the 1/4" rear brake line and install a new 3/16" line if I can help it.

If you need that many adapters and couplings I would make new lines...
