Fitting Wilwood RPV to 3/8" flared line
A long while back I ordered the majority of my brake parts/fittings from Speedway and at the time the guys knowledge was a life saver to me, but now it might be closer to a nightmare. The first issue is he gave me two T fittings, one to run the front lines and another for a pressure brake switch. Both have an NPT center which of course leaks. I had an extra T fitting with a rear end bracket with all flared ends so i cut off the bracket and used the T in the front - no leaks so now I need another for the brake switch I believe.
The bigger problem is I have a Wilwood residual pressure valve with 1/8" NPT ends with an adapter 1/8 NPT to 3/8 -24 IF, but what I am seeing now is that will not work. How do I use a RPV with 3/8" flared lines?? Do they make flared RPV valves?
So on top of brake fluid leaks all weekend I wasn't paying attention and completely stripped out the threads for my rubber hose into my caliper...not a good weekend'35 Ford coupe- LT1/T56, '32 Ford pickup, 70 GTO convertible, 06 GTO

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
