I just bought a set of wildwood from a member with a c5. My question is...will I need to change the brake lines or are the c5 and c6 brake line hardware interchangeable or will i need to get any adapter pieces?
You'll need to change the lines and fittings. The chassis hard line on the C5 uses a bubble flare while the C6 line uses an inverted flare although both are 10 mm fittings. The correct Wilwood kit for the C6 is part number 220-9100. The kit for the C5 is 220-8176 which looks like what you have. Look them both up and you'll see the difference.
If you are not sure what you are looking at: the hose shown appears to be bubble. It's single anglular seat.
Inverted flare has a small 'tit' inside the M10 thread.
*Note this image is the REVERSE showing the hardline end going into your adapters- you'll notice the indentation for the small tit to sit in it on the left image.
There is no way of knowing what the chassis adapter is that you link to. The fitting is in fact Metric based on the hash mark on the hex corners. But missing is the inside shape.
The Wilwood part number 220-6413 is IF for the C6. But the hoses you have will not fit the 3AN male end if that is your plan. The hoses shown are dedicated hoses crimped to the required factory hardline. You'll need 3AN female ends to pair with that small adapter.
Should you need them I have dedicated hoses for both C5 and C6 and the wilwood calipers, neither of which use chassis adapters. The hoses are dedicated like those in the first pic with used hoses.
