    In automotive school I was told to never use teflon tape on brake systems and that all brake fittings must use flared fittings as brake fluid dissolves teflon tape. Other than that your kit looks wonderful.

    Me too, but times have changed in the industry Too many law suits IMO

    Wildwood does in fact want teflon tape on the brass adapter elbow on the caliper

    Read instructions below

    When I taught brake class if a guy told me this I would have freaked on him

    Not any more, albeit, be careful NOT to contaminate any passages internally when using the teflon

















    Instruction Sheet for part 17

    -

    1213:

    Wilwood Front Brake Caliper Conversion, MKII

    Four 3/8

    5)

    Remove the two c

    6)

    Remove caliper and tube.

    7)

    Remove the sheet metal splash guard from the inside of the rotor (this will not be

    8)

    Mount aluminum caliper adapter bracket on the inside of the spindle/upright using

    the

    original

    ½′′

    fine bolts with flat and lock washers.

    9)

    Install brass fitting in caliper using Teflon tape or sealer on the threads so that the

    female inverted flare end faces down. (Do not over

    -

    tighten; we will not replace a

    stripped caliper on warranty).

    10)

    Mou

    nt caliper with bleed screws pointing up and connection ports facing the

    inside of the aluminum adapter bracket. If required, center the caliper parting line

    on the center of the rotor using the 3/8

    17)

    Bleed both halves of each caliper until a solid pedal is obtained, makin

    g sure that

    the reservoir is kept full during bleeding.

    Can you imagine how much it will cost to change all of the banjo fittings on motorcycles and cars to accommodate flared fittings !

    With HD and ABS it is getting much better

    IMO, the aftermarket will NOT take chances with law suits

    No leaks = happy and safer riders JMO

    Too much Teflon just like too much of anything can be a bad thing JMO
