Rear Brake plumbing

Tim Lisson · 06-23-2012, 04:06 PM

Best method?

I installed new disks on the rear of my car and converting the plumbing to 03AN stainless flexible line. My T block is 3/16 for hard line. Does someone make a fitting that is 03AN to 3/16 inverted flare? Or do I have to install hard line and by an adapter from hard line tube to 03AN?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi Tim
I don't know if anyone makes that fitting?
We ran hard line from the T block out to the end of the housing tubes,
then an adapter and a shot braided line to the caliper.

Tim, talk to Brian Van Poppel. I did this same converion last year and he can hook you up with all the fittings and mounting clips for them. You can e-mail him @ mdperfspec@yahoo.com.

I just did a similar conversion , it's easier , and cheaper to use -4 connectors. Just a heads up for anyone who hasn't bought lines yet.---Trevor
