Wilwood MC brake fitting question - L angle

[Jean]

Hi,

So I have 3 wilwood masters, (260-10371 and 260-10372) and they use 1/8-27 NPT thread fitting for the lines on the outlet side.

The problem I am running into is when I use the Wilwood Brake Line Fittings and Adapters 220-13125 they end up tightening at wrong angles.

One would face UP, one would face DOWN and one would go LEFT vs. RIGHT.

I don't want to risk ruining the MC by over tightening these with trying to get the ends to face ONE way.

What's the best course of action here? I tried "starting" to thread them differently, and even switched them around, but can't get them to line up.

Is there another fitting that I can use , perhaps something like using this first "https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wil-220-0628/overview/" and then "L" shaped adapter?

I really don't want to add a bunch of adapters, but need the outlets to face ONE way to better route the lines for my v8 swap.

Thanks!

I answered in PM. One quick choice is NPT male to metric male short adapter, and then make up or buy brake lines with 90 degree terminations to match the male metric.

Now that I see in this post that its NPT for the master in question, I don't think there is a NPT banjo bolt solution that I pitched in the PM. Other master brands have metric ports, much easier to match and use a banjo bolt. I'm guessing further that these NPT are therefore the low pressure supply to the master, and so, you could use a simple short vertical NPT male to male barb even, and straight to the supply hose. I'd probably go that way. For my AP masters, I use metric banjo barb fitting for this use. That's a mouthful.
