What is easy depends on how strong one are. Offcourse a long lever drifting style would require less torque to lock, but that was never an option for me.

Ok, so I'm thinking about making my own kit but since it won't come with the hardware kit i'm confused about the fittings for the wilwood master cylinder.
http://www.jegs.com/i/Wilwood/950/260-6087/10002/-1.
According to the Wilwood site, the outlet is 3/8 -24 which is ideal for 3/16 line correct? so i would only need a 3/8 -24 nut and flare the tube.

The inlet is 7/16 -20. So, this fitting would make the inlet the same as the outlet so i could just use another 3/8 -24 nut.
I'm just a little unsure why Jezza used -3an sleaves and nuts rather than just 3/8 -24 nuts or do both work?
I'm new to brake lines so and all the fitting sizes make my brain hurt

Just finished figuring this out, it's your lucky day.
The outlet (3/8-24) uses a regular 3/16ths brake line nut, nothing special about it.
Wilwood can go fuck themselves for the thread pitch they used on the inlet :curse:
Line nuts that fit it do exist, but the ones I could find only existed on ebay coming from the UK. You will find 'adapters' with google searches from autozone, advance auto parts, ect and they all state they have something that will work. They do not. Their sites are wrong - they have the right part number listed, but it's actually a 7/16-24, which obviously will not work.
Here's what you need to buy for the inlet:
Adapter to go from the inlet to your brake line. Make sure you've got teflon tape and a crush washer for it as the fitting does not bottom out in the master.

Tube sleeve, -3AN

Make sure you get -3AN as it's the equivalent of 3/16ths. When you're doing your flare, but the tube nut on first, then the sleeve, then flare.
Also, the 7/16-20 adapter you linked is 9/16-20, so don't buy that :D

Hmmm... the banjo ~might~ work. Just make sure you don't buy the cheap banjo adapters - a lot of those manufacturers use the same 'sleeve' for different bolt sizes, which is an issue if space or mounting surface area is limited. I ran into this issue when I bought summit racing brand banjo -> AN dealies for my PS rack. They BOTH used 22 or 23MM bolt heads. Couldn't get a good grip on the bolts, had to drop the rack again and tighten them up on the ground :curse:
