Trying to plumb my brake system?
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to plumb my brake system and none of my fittings.....fit. The residual valves, proportioning valve, brake switch all were ordered with 1/8 npt fitting. So natuarly I ordered 1/8 npt to 4 AN fittings from jegs. Well I get maybe 1 turn and the fitting just stops. I need fittings for the Wilwood calipers a well and the instructions state the thread pattern is 1/8 27 npt. So I went to my hose and rubber supply and was told that all 1/8 npt are 27 thread. They gave me one of their fittings and it's the same story, 1 turn and just stops.
My last resort is to order the Wilwood brand 1/8 27 fitting which are $5 a piece betting the a 1/8 27 npt is different than 1/8 npt. But I thought I would try here first. Anyone have any experience with the 1/8 npt to AN fittings? Am I suppose to just get a wrench and start turning? I would hate to strip my new calipers.
Any Ideas?
