Well I finally decided to do it after much pressure from good ole' Sledheaddude800.
I bought the pivot riser extension and a 4" block to put on my '01 ZR 800. I ordered the brake line extesion from High Performance Engineering, it came with the line and two fittings. Both of the fittings were the same so I know i'm not putting them in the wrong place. I was able to get everthing to fit on the brake caliper with no problems. When I went to screw put the fitting on the master cylinder I noticed that the threads looked too coarse. I just barley starts to thread but it's really tight, and I don't want to end up ruining my master cylinder. The pictures show what they sent me. Did any of you get the same set up or is it wrong. I called the support people at hiperf and they told me that this was a standard size for all cats with willwood brakes. I showed my dealer and the only advice he gave me was to tap it to the correct size. I don't think I should have to do that?

The right side of the fitting attaches to the brake line itself, the left is supposed to go into the master cylinder.
HELP! :bash:
