Yeah, I learned from an older gentleman I work with who's been working on German cars for 30+ years....and he knows German.
That's my car in the pic....I'm running ABS with the Wilwood pedals. Haven't driven it enough to see if it works....but the only thing that changed was having a booster....so it should.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

someone school me on brake fittings. so my m/c's are 1/8-27, so i need 1/8-27 to 3/16th's adapters? (3/16's is line size?). what line fitting would match that? i'm not worried about the flare, i just have no idea how to attach my brake lines to my m/c's lol. and can i get this shit from oreillys or autozone or whatever... maybe ill just go there and ask someone what's up and hope that it's that 1 in a million chance that they will actually be helpful.

Union / COUPLING female x female threads at each end. I used 2 for connecting new lines from Wilwood master cyls to existing lines in eng compartment. You can bend, carefully,the existing lines that went to the original Mater cylinder.
Couplings may not be ideal since it adds 2 connections vs 0 if you replace the entire line from ABS unit

Spent the day doing guy stuff.
Started off with this. Loose as a goose.
Tightened er on up.
Loctite'd everything on up. Wasn't sUre what I was going to find, I'd say 1/3 of the bolts were loose. I think the only reason they stayed in was because the threads were all gunked up with old oil. And I started cutting some plate for my mounts.

Glad I didn't buy mounts. Slacking today but got some work done.
Sourced a driveshaft, gonna pick it up Wednesday. Crazy how damn near everything has just fallen into my lap. Perfect timing. I almost never check craigslist because there aren't many enthusiasts round these parts, but sure enough, five minutes and i find a large guibo d/s. If there is a god, he wanted this build to happen.Last edited by dothadance; 12-27-2015, 05:57 AM.
