wilwood install

i just got a set of wilwood front brakes.

in reading the installation instructions, it says the following:

"NOTE: OEM rubber brake hoses generally cannot be adapted to Wilwood calipers. The caliper inlet fitting is a 1/8-27 NPT.The preferred method is to use steel adapter fittings at the caliper, either straight, 45 or 90 degree and enough steel braided line to allow for full suspension travel and turning radius, lock to lock"

 

now.. I got stock calipers on mine now, with Russell stainless lines.. but they are the OEM banjo style connections.

 

 

so, those who have put wilwoods on.. what did you do with the brake line installations on wildwood calipers?

I have not done the job you are asking about but Wilwood sells flex lines.

This video shows a 90* fitting on the caliper going to what I assume is a Wilwood hose. (I didn't listen to the video, just watched

it)

Hope you wind up being able to use your Russell lines.
