For the guy that are running Wilwood pedals, what brake line fittings are you using when going through the firewall / bulkhead

Thanks

I didn't use any bulkhead fittings on the 3/16" hard brake lines. They just introduce potential points of failure that would be potentially dangerous and really hard to deal with down the road. I used a bulkhead fitting on the -4AN line for the hydraulic clutch and put the fitting in place that would be accessible when removing the footbox top access panel.

Edit: You can see how I routed my brake lines here (https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?31167-Greek-Guys-Garage-Roadster-Build-9509-(Picking-up-the-chassis)&p=425090&viewfull=1#post425090). Very similar to how others have routed them.

JohnK, Thank you, that is how I will do it. I am not happy with the donor box, so I am going to the Wilwood box and was wondering how to route the line from the interior out through the wall.

What about the donor box do you not like? Is it SN95?

I did a modification on the donor box for the hydraulic clutch. It is not working the way I would like.
