I am 2 of the purple brake line adapters short. I had the correct amount according to the inventory sheet but I still need 2 more. I used 8 just for the brakes. I still need 2 for the clutch line. Anyone else run into this? I realize we are amoung the first ones to build. I just don't see it mentioned in the threads. I think FFR would want to know.

std to metric adaptors

6 for the brakes one on each flex connection, one on each master cylinder connection, everything else is std threads, 3/8 wrench
2 for the clutch, one at master cylinder, one at flex connection

how did you make out with lines? I had two too many 60 inch, one short of 8 inch, 3 short of 20 inch, short several unions

should be
two 60's for clutch and an 8 inch too

brakes

60 and 20 to 3 way female tee behind gas tank, 60 + 8 inch to right rear, 20 to left rear
8 inch to proportioning valve, 8 to tee (should be 3 way female, I used 2 female, 1 male tee plus union) 20 inch to left side flex, 20 to right side flex

My wildwood valve needed 2 adapters as well. Look at the picture in the manual. They used them there as well. I had to make my own lines by shorten some and use a adapter on the RF brake line. I onlt got 1 T adapter the manual shows 2. I got one the has 2 females and 1 male. I used it on the rf flex line to get the lines to the lf hose. I am not too pleased with the lack of proper parts. But I guess that comes with being an early builder.

Here's some photos of what I did on the front brakes. I used the same split setup the 33 used on the rear brakes as far as the style T-fitting. Are we supposed use differant fittings on the wildwood valve?

the wilwood comes with two pipe thread to brake line adapters, they have pipe dope on them and they were packaged in the plastic willwood packaging, we received 8 purple adapters for std to metric

I can't believe we got the wrong parts myself... wasn't even close

My wilwood valve had no hardware with it at all.
