brake caliper/line fitting

[Eifelaner]

don't kniw if this is the right forum but anyway

between the brakeline and the caliper sits an "adapter", a smaller thread with a nipple goes in the brakeline and the other bigger side into the caliper

hope you guys know what i mean

i need this "adapter" but can't find it, even at toyodiy

Any ideas?

want me to do it for you?

OEM hoses look like this ^^^ and the male end just screws straight into
the OEM caliper. The female end connects straight to the captive fitting on
the end of the brake hard line. Maybe someone has changed the calipers
on your car to another brand, and needed to adapt the hoses to fit ?

i marked the male end, that screws out of the hose

no my calipers are original

Lajoosh, what?

[jondee86]

The end fitting should be a one-piece item, swaged onto the end of
the hose. Like this...



If it came apart, you either broke it, or it was a non-OEM hose made
with screw together fittings (and I wouldn't trust my life to that kind
of DIY brake hose).

sounds like i need to get new brakelines

i got aftermarket braided lines on the car since i got it, but dont know what brand, something from japan i guess. it's not DIY and they always worked as they should even on the track

Eifelaner, are you talking about the hoses (flexible) or the hardline ?
(master cylinder -> hardline -> hose -> caliper)

The hardline have fitting like this on both side:


But there is no adapter anywhere on the whole brake system.

This is most likely the answer. If the aftermarket lines did not have the
right fittings on the end, whoever put them on installed the adapter to
match them up. If you need to replace the adapter, you need to talk with
a specialist brake shop, and see what they have on the shelf.

DO NOT buy Black Diamond lines. They screwed my calipers by putting the wrong fitting on the calipers end of the line.

Then got $/)$"@ about by Fensport big time.

By far the worst experience I have had with a supplier in 30 years.

i just gave it a shot on saturday and grind the mashed part of the nipple of, screwed it together and it seals
