Myles Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Darn, Upgrading std. front brakes to HiSpec 4-pots - all was going swimmingly until it didn't, all of a sudden. The male-end of the hoses I was supplied by the KitCarWorkshop were the wrong size - slightly too big and a different thread. First of all, can someone confirm what the correct fitting is? Secondly - given that I need a fix to arrive in the post on Saturday - what are the sensible options? I reckon I could probably get a female-male converter in between the front hardlines and the stub of the male hose (a phrase I don't often hear ) - but a new set of hoses would obviously be the best solution if I could get them made up in time. That'd be Think Auto then, wouldn't it? I'm not quite sure what the banjo fitting on the other end is - it's smaller than the one used for the standard Triumph single-pots. Do the CC four-pots use a different size? - I'm wondering if they'd have some hoses ready made and in stock... Project Scope-Creep is live...

Peter T Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Souds like you are trying to connect 24unf with 10x1 metric. The fronts are indeed 3/8ths x24, and the metric size you migt have is 10mmx1. Carbon Components from K9 Composites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrino Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 The port on the HiSpec callipers is M10 x 1, if that helps. Bite me 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 Thanks - yep, the HiSpec end (banjo end) is 10mm - and the male connector they (KCW) fitted is the same thread. Are there any variations on either end that I need to know about? I already know that I need to ask for a bulkhead/panel style connector on the 3/8ths end. Project Scope-Creep is live...
