Hi I'm having to get some custom brake lines made does anyone know the size and what type of connector I need to join to the original brake pipes. Also what's a good recommended length I don't have any hoses to hand to measure and would like to get these ordered asap

Many thanks

10x1.0 fittings.

as for length, you need to measure your car if theyre custom made for your car

Do they call them female or male ? Or is 10x1 all they'd need to know ?

What lines are you replacing bud what set up custom jobs depend on your system are you using a compensator ph2 type or ph3 type
Is it of a particullar design
If you are having someone do the job they should be able to set it all up for you and supply all required
Standard sizes for brake terminations are 10.1 male to fit into the calipers and 12.1 male and female union joins originally but custom your own size

Rear brake compensator takes 10mm and 12mm

. It's only for the front calipers I know the connector for the cailper end and the company is a willwood stockist so that's cool. Just need the fitting to connect up the the original pipe on the body of the car. Length wise I though 14 in if there too long I can tie them out of the way

The end that joins to the pipe at the car end is m10x1 female as far as I'm aware, as it sits in that bracket with the spring loaded clip thing.

I made the lines for my Alcon calipers with stuff from Torques.co.uk.

you'll need to fit your caliper and work out the hose length yourself, not a big problem for me as the hose comes in units of a metre, so I bought two knowing that a standard hose is 560mm from memory.

make up one hose end and fit them to the caliper or car end, move the strut to full lock each way & droop/bump, make sure you have a nice radius not a taut length.

its a doddle tbh, same as making fuel lines, just smaller stainless fittings instead of aluminium.

Thread resurrection rather than starting a new one:

The inboard/car end of the braided lines will be 10mm x 1

I'm fitting wilwood calipers, from a very quick measure of the inlet to the caliper it is approximately 10mm and it requires a banjo fitting. 1/8 NPT is only a bit over 10mm so I'm wondering if it could also be this. I'll try winding in a 10mm bolt which should allow me to check whether or not the thread is tapered and should hopefully show it is an M10 banjo!

Just wondering: when others have fitted wilwood calipers did they find it was M10 or a 1/8 NPT?

seems wilwood are random and do use 1/8th by 27 tpi, so not somewhere a banjo could be used, you need an adapter then an elbow of your choice

They are used.

I have looked and as you said wilwood do use 1/8 NPT on some of their products, but you can also get 10mm caliper inlet fittings from them which would suggest it could be either depending on the product. I'll have to just check with a male M10 union as a starting point I think.

3/8 UNF is another possibility I'll have to consider, good suggestion.

The M10 union winds in but only for a bit and then goes tight as it seems to taper. Must be NPT.

I can let you know had mine made but Hel seemed to fit when I dry fitted them together. I was told to steer clear of banjo fittings on a road car
