DW brake line fittings

[heard531]

Would it be possilbe to get the name / size / part number for the fittings on the hydro brake lines?

My front line is slightly to short so if I can find out the size of the fittings my local hose and pipe shop might be able to match the fittings so I can have a short length made.


Thanks

What car are you fitting them to?

The lines are -3, and into your master cylinder will 99% be M10 x 1

sorry, its a S13

I could do with getting a piece of pipe to fit from the rear end of the front pipe on to the hand brake cylinder, ... but would I need male and female fittings? if so what are they called?

Thanks for the help!

They are plenty long enough for an s13, you shouldn't have any issues.
Infact, we had to loop them about a bit in the R32.

Do you have a strange setup? If not I'd take another look at the pipe routing
If you do need to lengthen them, do it at the master cylinder end.

Thanks for advice and reply! ...

... I bolted the handbrake basicly next to the old handbrake, ... the cable dose reach (just) ... but it rubs on sterring colum I am heading up the garage tonight and will look at the pipe routing.
