logan1 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I bought SS brake lines from MSA for my 240Z. The SS line i got have female connectors on both ends. I need a Male connector on the Caliper end of the line. Have they sent me the wrong lines? or do i have to go buy the male connector from a hardware store?

mklotz70 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 They may have forgotten to put the adapters in with it. It's a lot cheaper and easier to buy a SS hydraulic line in the length you want, then put the correct adapters on the end to make it fit. That's how I buy my lines from these guys. Oil Filter Services Co 615 SE Market St Portland, OR 97214-3522 (503) 232-5126 I'd call who ever you ordered the lines from first and see if it was an oops.

e_racer1999 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 The MSA stainless is designed as a replacement for the rubber line. If you want a replacement for the hard lines you need to get a different style. I found that the Earl's one that is 10" is a perfect fit, if that's what you're looking for. I don't have the part number right now, but can post later if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan1 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Well now that i am stuck with these lines is there some kind of adapter i can buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan1 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Someone on CTZCC directed me to there NPT to NPT Adapters. I think they will work for my application. I am however not 100% sure about the size i need to buy; please advice. http://www.jegs.com/p/Earls/Earls-AN-to-NPT-Adapter-Fittings/749370/10002/-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e_racer1999 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 No input on the adapter from me, but couldn't you just return to MSA? That's what we did when we got ours and they were the wrong gender; we were just out a few bucks shipping. The cost of the correct ones are nearly half the price, so a few bucks couldn't hurt. The part numbers for the Earls stuff we got is: 2x 592032 http://www.holley.com/592032ERL.asp 2x 63010110 http://www.holley.com/63010110ERL.asp This setup worked perfect for us.
