Just to let everyone know, they did get me my kit, however, it was missing parts and when i called they said they would get me the parts i need, got those, and its still wrong. O and it took about 2 months to get all my stuff, and its still wrong.

We couldn't help our delay with Wilwood, they were backordered on master cylinders and we were getting the runaround. Sorry an employee sent out the wrong fitting, their is 100s of variations of fittings and it was tough to understand which one was missing.

Here is the tracking on your correct fitting, goes out this evening

I'd be interested in picking up one of these kits but some questions came to mind when i saw this.

I know they've been used in motorsports but are there any special precautions for using aluminum fittings? In my experience if a small rock or piece of debris hits one they would crack. Who makes the fittings used in the kit? Would it be easier to use 90degree angle bulkhead fittings instead of straight ones across the inside of the firewall? If so could they be substituted for an additional fee? Any reason aluminum fitting were chosen over steel/ss other than cost?

Sorry for the Q's. Just curious.

[Chase Bays]

They definitely will not crack under normal use. I don't know what fittings you bought but if they cracked when some debris hit it, I would stay away from that brand from now on. Aluminum is a pretty durable metal, after all thats what our wheels are made of hah. (A little thicker nonetheless)

Im not sure which fittings you are asking about to be 90s? Could you describe it differently or maybe take a picture?

We use aluminum because its an industry standard, its offered in multiple colors, they will never rust or corrode, and we've never ever had a problem with them.

No apology needed! Happy to answer.

lol i should have said my experience is with aircraft. when shit gets up into the wheel wells ive seen it damage fittings on occasion. Didn't know if anyone had ever had any trouble in motorsports.

I was referring to the bulkhead fittings that pass through the firewall for the front right and rear brakes. At least I'm assuming thats what the bulkhead fittings pictured in the kit are for anyway. Why not use 90degree bulkhead fittings instead of straight ones and eliminate the bends in the tubing under the dash? Then there is just straight runs of tubing under the dash along the firewall. Just a personal preference I suppose.

hah yeah that definitely makes a difference. 600mph vs 60 mph

I would agree with you but then in the engine bay you have the longer side of the bulkhead sticking out. I think most people would agree engine bay look > interior underneath dash look.

If we custom made a slightly shorter bulkhead your idea would work perfectly, and maybe we should look into doing that...
