Default wilwood master to T56 adapter?

So the wilwood has out put that will be a hard brakeline but then what? want to use the stock braded line to actually hook up to the T56 slave at the trans. Anybody know of a fitting that goes from hard 3/16 hard line to the funny end of the gm braded line?

Id this what you're looking for?

AN/T56 adapter

Or, wait... You're not looking for an AN fitting are you? You're looking for something like a brake line flare fitting? I have not seen anything like that. You could probably use the fitting (or look around on Speedways sight for other T56 fittings, lines, etc...) I linked to and put the AN hardline fittings on it. Like a nitrous kit uses. Foggers use hard lines with AN fittings.

Why would you want to do hardline? Just get a SS braided brake hose and the fitting above and call it a day. That's how mine is set-up and I've never had a problem.

You do realize the kit comes with a
3/8-24 THD TO 37° FLARE, 3/16
fitting and a washer for you to connect a 3an line off the cylinder right?
The flare is only there if you need it, it's not mandatory because they're used for brakes as well.
I even drilled the flare in the master cylinder down so i could thread it more.
never had a leak and it's been that way for over a year.

Check with HAWKS they have a replacent line that will work with factory master as well as a flared fitting. Thats what i used in my swap.
