Default Braided brakeline fittings.

I have completed all the track ka in braided hose and euroquip fittings (M10 size) which is all well and good.

However, with the 300mm discs and larger piston callipers i have got a sportka master cylinder and larger servo but the outlets are M12 thread rather than the 1.3 M10 thread size and i cant find fittings anywhere.

Does anybody know what i need and where from. Banjo's or some kind of reducer piece.

Ive tried rallydesign where i got all my fittings.

Cheers, Dan.

Ah, just found what it might be. 7/16 fittings will be close to 12mm, so banjo's, banjo bolts and washers?

No, they are almost definately M12x1. Sounds as you have a non-ABS master cylinder which would a pressure limiting valves screwed into it for the rear brakes.

Also try www.speedflow.co.uk , very helpful for all types of funny adaptors.

Or even www.pirtek.co.uk if you can get through all the industrial stuff.

Let me know if you find something. I'm in the need of some 12x1 fittings as well for a cosworth master cylinder.

Silly me

IIRC when I looked at this problem, the most appropriate M12 fittings were for 1/4" pipe, not 3/16".

What I didn't do was look at Ford supplies.

They list male nuts for 4.75mm (3/16") pipe in 'standard' M10 and M12.

M10 - 6758611

M12 - 6758609

Sorry, my hacked Microcat doesn't give prices, but even Fraud couldn't charge more than a fiver each...

PS. Just been picking up parts for the w/e. Quoted for 6758609 - £2.15 +vat each.
