Need Help W/ ABS Delete
 
Alright, I decided to delete my ABS. Please dont ask why or tell me I should not have, thats not why i created this thread. I ended up picking up a rotary shack delete kit from a local that was selling one. It came with a wilwood proportiong valve and "all the fittings." The problem i am running into is that the adapters for the proportioning valve are not flared and dont use a crush washer to seal. They look like they relay on just the threads w/ some teflon tape to seal. If I am not mistaken, this definently will not work.

I have been looking for some 1/8 npt flared fittings or one that i can use a crush washer with to seal the proportioning valve, and i havnt found shit. Even on wilwoods site, they have just regular pipe thread adapters pictured with the proportioning valve. i found out that the 929 master cylinder is a M10x1.0 thread, which i assume is what all the other brake fittings are also. I guess what im looking for is an adapter from 1/8npt to m10x1.0.

Any help from some of the experts is appreciated. Im banging my head against the wall here cuz in a bout 2 weeks this will be the only thing holding my up from driving the car. i will get some pics of what came with the kit once i get to work.

Thanks,
Ausitn

i just screwed em in with that red stuff on it (whatever it is) and I havnt had any leaks

so teflon tape should work

hope that helps

you can even see on rotary shacks website where they used teflon tape on those threads

^Yeah, i have always been under the impression that the amount of pressure in a braking system will far exceed what the threads can seal without a flare. Maybe I am wrong?
