As title.

Can I buy a fitting to enable me use my braided lines with wilwood calipers?

As the new ones run with banjo fittings, where as the kads didn't.

If not, anyone recommend where to get some made up?

This is FORD country, on a quiet day you can hear Vauxhalls rusting.

I had the same problem. Ended up getting some mate up at my local hydraulics place. Google Carlton Hydraulics.

Just cut the old ends off and fit some new -3 banjo fittings. It's really easy to do. I've just done something similar recently.

the wilwoods are actually a taper thread, so you might not get a banjo bolt in before it bottoms out,

cant remember what I did when I fitted mine.

although some wilwoods for mk2 escort aplication (mi16 pattern??) are paralell thread.

Wilwoods being american might be NPT threads.

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

I personally have re made the whole hose using those self assembly fittings and the correct -3 600 hose as I wasn't sure on compatibility of the Euroquip self assembly fittings with the Goodridge hose.
