Brakeline parts

Hi, Im looking to order some bushes from rally design, but figured I may as well get the bits for my brakelines at the same time.

Seeing as Im 100 miles away from the bits, can someone tell m which ends I need to go onto Wilwood Powerlites? Also, Im using Mazda MX5 rear calipers, does anyone know offhand, or know of source where I might find the correct fitting for these?

At the inboard end i want to use this style of fitting

in a mount on the chassis and then go to copper lines. I assume the convex and concave options refer to the shape of the flare and both will take standard nuts? Any advantage to the different flare styles?

Finally, I see the euroquip reusable fittings which re what I need, but the end fittings above are only available in what I assume are crimp on? Or am I missing something?

Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the gen on the calipers!

Id be perfectly happy to get them from Russ, but I kind of fancy the challenge of doing them myself. Also, Im intending to change the rear calipers once the car is on the road so thought if I made them a couple of inches overlength I could change the ends later.

oh I didnt realise, I assumed they were ok.

Might ask russ if he can do them and I can return them at a later date for new ends.
