Hi I'm looking to make my own copper braided break lines

Does anyone know the corect fittings to use ?

I have a bias valve already

I need to know the thread type is it

M10 x 1? 3/16?

I need 2 t pieces and generall fittings

If any 1 could point me in the right direction that would be great,

Cheers

T-Pieces are M10 x 1, as is the master cylinder etc, depending if it's a B or C you have and if it has ABS or not, some are different. Are you putting new lines inside with a bias valve or just adding a bias valve to existing lines?

I you haven't got the tools for doing the brake pipe's yet. I can only recommend you getting this tool:

As it makes the work SO much easier, then using a set of the bloody cheap tools.

I tried using one of the cheap tools, and it took a a whole lot longer to do up just one brake pipe. I then forked out the money for this kind of tool, and I have never regretted it. It does a pro job, and you don't want you brake pips's to be less then perfect

Edit:

You should be able to find it for around £115, as that waht I managed to find it for over here in Denmark. You might even find it a bit cheaper, as our tax is a bit higher then yours. Or if your lucky, buy it through your work, and have your work deduct the tax
