Wilwood adapter for OEM flex line?

[mcemond]

Hi. Forgive me as brake line fittings flares, threads and sizes have always been confusing for me. I have a set of wilwood discs up front. The sticker over the inlet hole says 1/8-27 (the proper male fitting to go in the caliper would measure 3/8 diameter across threads, I measured this using a spare plug I had that threaded easily into the inlet). I have a set of OEM style flex lines (70-73 B/E body standard disc, classic industries p/n MD7051) and the thread on the caliper end of the line is too big and it is inverted flare, 7/16 (diameter across threads). I have seen some adapters to make this jump and switch the flare, some are on wilwood's site even. However they are listed as chassis and m/c adapters. So, my question, is it safe/ normal practice to use these also between the flex line and caliper? Or do I need to bite the bullet and get the whole willwood brand flex line kit?   
Thanks
Mike

 As long as it's the proper flare or inverted flare you are safe to use it. If it's at the caliper or at the master, it will work all the same.


The Wilwood flex line kit makes it pretty simple. I tend to recommend the simpler solution and just getting what will make the job simpler and have fewer connections/potential leak points
