Brake Line fittings question


Recommended Posts

What is the difference (if any) between Japanese flares and British flares? I have Jaguar  (Girling)  brake calipers on my Z31, and am trying to find adapters so I can use  -AN hoses. The catalog from Speedway says the adapters will fit Japanese flares. I don't really want to buy fittings that don't  seal. Thanks

Go to either Earls Performance Plumbing or to Russell Performance Plumbing websites.  They make a variety of AN adaptors.

 

Everything you need to know is on Google. Research the difference between Japanese and metric brake fittings.

Looks like a standard inverted flare, the only exception being to your typical hardline is the fitting can't spin...

 

BSPT is like NPT in that it's a tapered thread, but a tiny bit finer, tapered threads also act as a seal themselves, hence the need for teflon; the metric threads generally rely on a bubble/inverted flare to seal, with the thread only providing mechanical force
