Male brake fittings to fit a Wilwood MC
shortie - 3/2/07 at 05:03 PM

This is a long shot I know but I'm wondering if any of the southern guys who might be going to Box Hill tomorrow might happen to have a spare Male brake pipe fitting, I need one to fit into a Wilwood master cylinder but by the time I got to my local motor factors today they were shut and Halfrauds are next to useless!!

is it standard 10mm thread?

I am using Wilwood and I believe the thread in the m/cylinder is NPT. Rally Design keep NPT to metric adapters.

Isnt it 7/16" UNF??


shortie - 3/2/07 at 05:48 PM

sneaky suspcision it's UNF as I beliew they are american fittings on Wilwoods!

I think you are right Andrew, I've just checked my invoice from Rally Design and it looks as if the feed from the reservoir is 7/16"UNF for the 1/4" pipe and the other 3/8"UNF. the old memory's not what it used to be(and it never was that good)!!

Rich,ill have a look for some unf in the morning,bring some metric as well.

I know it's unlikely but no-one also happenns to have an old flexi brake pipe as I have a mini one but it's about an inch too short, I'm sorting the brakes on my car trailer.

I'll check my stash of brake pipe fottings too, i'm sure i have some imperial stuff like the ceptic tanks use on the other side of the pond

Right, I know this is a very long shot but you don't happen to have a spare Ferrari lying around that I could have do you??
