i am desperately trying to find a flexible brake line for my application
thing is i dont know wat are the threads on the end of my flexible line
i need to change it cuz it hits my balljoint nut
found out my banjo bolt is 7/16-20 (all 1978 and older are) and 1979 + are 10mm, i hope i still have original brakes on this bad boy o il be ordering the wrong fittings
i cant find wat are the threads at the other end of the hose
this is a picture of wat i currently have , i need to find out wat is the size/thread of the fitting on the right

this is the closest i found, issue is its for 79+ so that means its for 10mm banjo, since i have a 7/16 that coverts to 11.1 mm so it does not fit inside the hole, can i drill the hole in the brake line block to fit my 7/16 banjo bolt or will it fuck the fluid path?

this


or get them made at ur local speed shop/performance parts place


if u cant, then go some where that builds brake lines

Definitely just find out how long you need it, and take that length of brake hose/line to basically any brake shop.

They can swedge new ends on the line to meet your needs. Whether it's 10mm banjo or 14mm whatever. (as long as you know what size threads both sides connect to)

I'd steer away from LMC, at least until it's a last resort, as I have had some very recent problems with them in regards to the 69 F100 I'm building.... Especially with customer service, which I assume is the route you'd need to go.


and also, it is definitely possible to drill out and tap an existing hose to meet your needs, but this is definitely NOT the preferred method. But if you needed it movable soon, that's probably the quickest endeavor.

sketchy to the max

Agreed.

Possible. Not preferred. I definitely wouldn't go doing any 0-100-0's. Haha

But if he needed to move it around the house, or into a work area, it'll get him there.

well the block is not the part that gets screw into, it wont have any threads, its just to make the banjo slip trough the 10mm hole then srew in the brake calliper
