Default brake lines

Well, first off, making the stainless steel braided hose fittings at the end... as easy as the normal steel brake lines? or easier?


so now i need some help all you smart people out there!

all brake lines on the car is going to be stainless steel braided hoses.
first off have the goodridge hoses on all calipers.

my question is easy.

oh, this is can of worms!

right, i think you find if you've got the wilwood kit, this should in theroy be the same as the O E fitting wise, which i believe to be 3/8 unf, though i'm probably be wrong, all the brake lines should be in -3, with the fittings being ford fit, best to look here at Burton for this...

https://www.burtonpower.com/product_...rke%20fittings

if its MFI
the fuel lines, -6 from the tank, and return to accumulator, from here -6 or -8 to filter, fittings can be brought again from burton, -6 out of filter to metering head.

the fuel thread is here:


https://passionford.com/forum/ford-e...uel-pipes.html

i think the filter thread is m10 X 1 or 1.25, again i may be wrong,

into the metering, i'm unsure, though i've got a feeling its m10 X 1,

now out of the metering head, the banjos i don't know, i'm ringing burton tomoz, as i've got a feeling it could be m8.
the mfi injectors, fitting are deffo -4,



on EFI, you can run entire fuel with -6

i've posted a similar thread here, found out a bit, but not much really.

the question i would like answered is, if i use -4 from the injetors back to the metering head will it cause problems, as the OE fuel lines are about 1mm
with -4 inside diameter of 4.7mm will this cause a drop in fuel pressure?

hope this helps

yes that hellped allot actually!

GOODRIDGE -3 BRAKE HOSE FITTING: FEMALE STRAIGHT, 3/8UNF x4 (one for every goodridge that come from the calipers)

GOODRIDGE -3 BRAKE HOSE FITTING: STRAIGHT MALE,CONVEX SEAT, 3/8UNF x2 (for the willwood adj)

is the size on the master cylinder 3/8 UNF?

also need some 3-way splitters


and answer on your quesion, yes injectors is fixed flow.
so they would not overfuel suddenly

hi again Alex, to be honest if your going with a pedal box, like in another thread, you can get the cylinders with the correct thread size.
the OE cylinder i'm pretty sure is 3/8th as well.
