 Posted: Mon Dec 30, 2019 11:26 pm Post subject: Banjo Brake Fitting |
 |
|
I put in a narrow front beam and need to change out the brake lines as there is too much line.
Currently have 23" SS lines going to EMPI disks and will probably go to 19" but was looking for a banjo fitting for the calipers as stock fitting hits the torsion arm, especially when making U turns.
Any sources for VW applications?
thanks!

If you have a local Hose and Fitting store you can get the banjo fittings there. I did my rear brake lines since the Empi setup was a joke.
These banjo bolts should fit
2 Dorman Banjo bolts #H9449-2 M10-1.50 23.4mm length. Carquest #WBH 301H5375
These banjo fittings should be correct.
2 BRA-HFB09 M10 Banjo fittings.
Any decent Hydraulic shop that can do brake lines should be able to help you out.
I used "Industrial Supply" for my parts.

Thanks for the info and links.
Confirming that the diameter and pitch is 10mm x 1 mm- true yes?

Yes it is 10x1.00mm
Porsche 356 drum brakes used banjo fittings too.
