KevvinG Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hey guys, I just received my wilwood prop valve and was wondering if anyone had a link or knew where I could order some adapter fittings to mate this up to the stock 10mmx1.0 lines on the car. I've tried both my local partsource and NAPA to no luck as well as searching online a good bit. I know it's possible to just cut and re-flare the lines but I'd like to save that as a last resort. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenman Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 What Part # of P/V. WilWood has them available in 1/8 27 NPT ports and 3/8 24 National Fine straight thread. Once you find that out, search Earl's, Russel, McMaster Car. There are adapters to go straight from the SAE thread to the 10mm x 1.0 Bubble flare. Juts have to Google a bit more. The other Option is to buy Universal brake adapter lines. These have Metric Bubble flare on one end and SAE on the other. Since the WilWood kit includes SAE inverted adapters with the Prop Valve this may be the way to go. Then you can bend your lines to fit. Any decent Automotive Parts store can get these. If they can't find them, get a Parts guy with an IQ bigger than a Peanut. Hint... search out the grumpy old fart types ... like me . They usually know their isht.

Chickenman Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) If you have the 1/8 27 NPT threads in the Prop valve, then this company has what you want. 1/8 NPT ( Male ) to M10 x 1.0 Female Metric Bubble flare. Part number CNC896 = $9.00 each. http://www.pacificcustoms.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PC&Product_Code=cnc896&Category_Code=brass-adapter-fittings Edit: If you have the 3/8 24 NF straight threads in the Prop Valve then you want adapter CNC897 = $12.00 each http://www.pacificcustoms.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PC&Product_Code=cnc897&Category_Code=brass-adapter-fittings Edited October 27, 2017 by Chickenman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevvinG Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Sorry I should have specified! The part number is 260-8419. If I'm not mistaken it's got the 3/8 24 NF straight threads. So I guess that means I'm going to need to go with http://www.pacificcustoms.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PC&Product_Code=cnc897&Category_Code=brass-adapter-fittings these?

Miles Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I am seeing a lot of references to bubble flares. Z cars should all be 10mm x 1.0 inverted flares. Bubble flares on a Z will leak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenman Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Good catch. I think you are right on that. I may be getting the Z car and my Audi mixed up. Kevvin, make sure you double check flare!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy from Oz Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Why not buy the metric version of the valve which has the 10 mm threads? The less number of fittings, the less chances of leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 41 minutes ago, Boy from Oz said: https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/wil-260-12627/overview/ I looked at this a long time ago. It is 10mm x 1.0 bubble flare. From Summit: Q: Is it an inverted flare or bubble flare on inlet and outlet? Asked by KENNETH on June 02, 2016 A: Thank you for your question. Wilwood Disc Brakes 260-12627 would have a 10 mm. x 1.0 bubble flare on both inlet and outlet. In 09 I checked with Wilwood. They had no interest in supplying 10mm x 1.0 inverted flare adapters or a PV with those specifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy from Oz Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Okay. I can't recall the exact details but as mine was a complete rebuild including new lines I probably flared the ends to match the valve and not retained the OEM flares. Sorry, it was a while ago and I'm struggling to recall all the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Boy I don't know what Wilwood's problem is with making 10mm x 1.0 inverted flare adapters. A lot of Japanese cars use inverted flares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
