Hello all!

Just about to start buying parts for my brake lines and would like to ask if any of you already have a complete shopping list of what i should get. To be honest i have spent the last few days trying to work out whats needed but all the different sizes are quite confusing and making my head hurt! I will list what i have below in two sections Front, Rear and Clutch. If anyone can fill in the blanks that would be fantastic!

Oh and brake light switch... inline or fixed into the pedal somehow.

Where are you proposing to fit the brake light switch and what type are you thinking of, instead of a T fitting in the front I have gone for a 4 way fitting then you can fit the brake pressure switch in the front, only a thought, oh and my T & 4 way fitting are both female.

I can help you with the fitting threads and the general plan. I'm a bit busy right now but I will have a look at it tomorrow.
Fitting on Wilwood calipers are mostly NPTF 1/8x27
Wilwood Master Cylinder are JIC 7/16x20 in (of no integrated reservoir), 3/8x24 out.

Please, PM me your personal email address, so I can send you attachment (pics, drawings, and so on)

Thanks :)

Ahh I have a front and rear master cylinder so will just be using one T for each section.

Is there a set kit for the flex lines or it is a custom made job?
