Default having too much trouble trying to find an adapter

My proportioning valve only has 3/8"-24 fittings coming out it:



My rear brake line fitting is M12x1.5:



This is on 6mm line. Does anyone know how can I adapt the M12x1.5 fitting to a 3/8"-24? I've been trying to find an adapter but I'm having no luck at all.

Thanks for any help/advice!

I'm not sure what you're trying to build I don't think you'll find a direct fitting stock shelved as such. If this is an LS1 or LT1 F-body, it would have been easier and less expensive to purchase one of our ABS delete kits.

Only thing I can suggest is cut the fitting off and start fresh...or replace the whole line.

Dammit. Now you guys tell me. lol I guess I was trying to make my own ABS delete kit. Steve, I'm calling you tomorrow.

In the meantime I will pray to the gods of SJM Manufacturing.
