: Drill and Tap a Subaru MC for NPT fittings?

I'm about to rerun my brake system and wanted to convert everything over to NPT fittings for ease. I know I can drill and tap my toyota calipers for 1/4" NPT, but can I do the same on my Subaru MC? I've done a few calipers, but never a MC, anything I should know about/look for?

wouldn't adapters be easier? Plus you wouldn't have to worry about screwing your MC up.

no one makes a 10mm-1.0 adapter to 1/8" NPT. I'd have to stack several adapter on top of each other and I'm not huge fan of doing this. Plus I'll already be drilling and tapping the rotors. 4 rotos+2 MC fittings *2 adapters each gets expensive

Try these guys for adapters....they've always had what I needed. I use -3 braided stainless for all my flexlines.

Good luck!
