Brake line adapters
matberry - February 11th, 2009 at 01:03 PM

I'm looking for 3 adapters to fit a US made brake device that has 1/8 - 27 NPT female threads to vw hard lines. So the fittings would be 1/8 - 27 NPT male : M10 x 1 (DIN ?) double flare female.

Anyone have any leads as the local brake and speed shops seem to be having a few difficulties.

Thanks in advance
Matt

We got something like this made up by BHSS.
Female M10 braided line crimped to short length of tube with double flare end.

Thanks lexm. BHSS are very good. Haven't decided to do this yet but my local speed shop has a fitting to use IF I change the hardline nuts to imperial and reflare the tube. Might go this way yet.

Why not change the hard lines, well the short ones at least.
