i don't often post about a single $4 part but this is an exception...
10mm banjo (caliper) to 3/8-24 NF inverted flare female (all AMC!) i can use nearly all stock lines and fittings on my chassis and attach directly to the calipers with this inexpensive part. for example: i'm putting Mustang rear disc brakes in the rear of my American, and a Scarebird kit (Chevy Celebrity calipers) up front. those modern parts are all metric, and use 10mm banjo bolts. ** the Mustang rear hoses have an inconvenient metal line attached, and are metric on the other end. ** the Scarebird-recommended hoses, also 10mm banjo bolts, have an inconvenient bubble flare at the other end. these banjo unions put the correct female brake flare connection right where you need it. |

Finally, a cost effective source for the copper sealing washers. Everything else I've seen is too thin and leaks. Thanks for posting.

Tom,
I hope you got the HD caliper from the Celebrity. Thanks for the adapter info. When we did our Scarebird conversion we just searched for a hose with the banjo end that was the right length. Nick |

erm, i dunno. why? i got the exact part number Scarebird recommended...
well, i got the one, again, recommended by Scarebird but the inboard end is bubble flare female, and i of course have typical old inverted flare. but also i have that '98 Mustang rear, same banjo bolt issue, and with these things i can just keep everything inverted flare, as it already is. |

Tom,
The Celebrity HD caliper has a depression on the outside where the retaining clip of the pad fits. The std caliper is built differently. The tend to look the same from the piston side. Nick |
