hey, i am in a predicament. I just got my rear end for my dime shortened 1" per side for clearance for the 22's. Now my wilwood calipers are no less than 1/4" from the frame, not allowing me to get the fitting in there. My option right now is step the frame in 1" per side. This wont be too much work, but on the other hand, backhalfing it would be the proper way to do it. I should have some pics up on my profile of the frame. If not ill post my current setup.

Another option you may have is (I know this is true for Wilwood billet dynalites so check with wilwood first for your model) to plug the inlet on the side with a flush allen head pipe plug and use one of the lower bleed ports for your brake line input. Wilwood has internal and external crossover models so if yours is internal it is ok. If it is external you have to use one of the upper bleed ports and leave the crossover tube intact. The only disadvantage to this is you will have to remove your wheels for bleeding and it will take a little more time and effort bleeding the side that no longer has a bleed.
