14x1.5 fitting
 
Anyone know where I can get a fitting for the 14x1.5 brake fitting or parts to build a fitting. I need to go from 14x1.5 Thread, Bubble flair,male to 1/8 npt female. I have tried a lot of places, and search the internet for hours with no luck. The one place that I found a fitting I bought and it is the right thread but not long enough and everywhere I go or call cant help. Here what I am connecting too.

Is there enough meat in the fitting to drill and tap it to 1/8npt on the inside? If so I know where to get unions for that size, so with a union and another 14mm fitting you could end up with a 1/8-27 female thread

Ok I looked at my car.
I assume you are installing an adjustable prop valve?
I used a union, another 14.5mm fitting with a short flared piece in it to make a seal, then drilled and tapped the fitting and installed a heavy wall steel 1/8 pipe nipple between the fitting and the prop vavle.

I know it sounds a tiny bit ghetto, but it the only 'bolt on' way to do thus I have ever found outside of a custom machined fitting. Its been on my car for probably 10 years now with no problems

Why not just cut it off and flair it to what you need?

Stainless, not easy to flare without a very expensive flare tool

True, I am spoiled with my hydraulic flaring tool!
