Default Aeroquiping callipers. Banjos or adapters and fittings.

How does everyone go about Aeroqupping their callipers? Do you use banjo fittings or -3 adaptors and fittings like you would on fuel lines?

You can use either. Personally I'd rather use Goodridge (or similar) stainless fittings.

I was going to use Teflon braided hose with Torques fittings like I did with the fuel system if that helps. I already have Goodridge stainless fittings but wanted them to all match my ally fuel bits.

They do look nice, and good quality, but they wont match the fittings I have now which is why I want to change them to the blue/red fittings. There's nothing wrong with the Goodridge I have, I'm just being a pest.

Do not use the blue/red alloy fittings on brake lines. they are not good enough for brakes.
