Super helpful, and excellent timing!

I've managed to install two airline fittings without cracking the foot pedal housing this am, so I'm feeling pretty stoked

My next npt project involves my front calipers -- I'll take pix -- it won't be for the faint of heart...

Yeah, I'm glad I don't have to deal w/ calipers at the moment. Look forward to your updates

Your front calipers are npt?! I don't think I've ever seen that on hydraulic calipers.
