Brake Lines

JoePolo · 04-01-2008

I know that the brake lines have a 10 mm nut on them but what size is the brake line and what thread is that nut on the brake line?? Looks like 3/16 line to me but I need to know that thread so that I can attempt to find a 90 degree fitting for my master cylinder. Thanks in advance.

Joe, you should be able to use a banjo fitting from a GT MC or one that goes on the differential, either of those will get you the 90 degree fitting you're looking for. HTH.

The nuts on the lines are 11mm.

Thanks for the help them banjo's worked amazing. I didn't have to remake a single line.

I'm a happy camper, now i just have to bleed everything and see how it all works.

And the lines definitly use a 10mm line wrench I know cause I don't own a 11 mm line wrench.

Joe, that's what this site is all about. Opel folks helping Opel folks. Glad to be of assistance with suggesting the banjo fittings.
