Hi there.
Can anyone advise me of the correct Hose fitting for Wilwood Front calipers?
Thanks in advance.

Pete, it will depend on the caliper. If they are from a vehicle specific kit then they should accept the same hose connection as OEM, if they are not vehicle specific then they could still be either 1/8-27 NPT (taper fitting, or if for banjo fitting a straight 7/16 or even metric. See here
http://www.wilwood.com/LineKits/LineKits2.aspx it details caliper models.

Is it :
-3 AN male to 3/8 x 24 SAE male straight adaptor with inverted seat.
or:
-3 AN male to 7/16 x 24 SAE male straight adaptor with inverted seat.

Are you looking at M/C fittings? The caliper hose fitting won't have a seat.

Great link, Rob; surprised I missed that one...
This is specifically for the caliper to the hard line...

Am I missing something, don't you have a flexi from the caliper? Or have you got a hard line from caliper to strut (assuming it's for a race car) then in to a flexi. Either way you'll probably need an npt to -3 fitting adaptor which is the most common.

It is the fitting that goes into the Caliper that attaches to the -AN 3AN Flexi that I am trying to identify.....

Not sure, Guy - It may be the shiny ones next to them - or buy the kit...
Thanks for posting...

The one circled are from the flexy to caliper and the shiney ones are from the flexy to hard line allowing the flexy to be clipped to bracket on frame rail

I'm thinking that but I do not know what length - the kits vary from 14" to 18"......

I used that kit 18" on my Dart and fits with no issues any shorter it would be tight on extension any longer you would need to loose the excess

Did you hang the callipers to the rear of the spindles?
