Brake circuit sizes
« on: September 21, 2010, 01:50:49 PM »
I am going to remake the 2 rear brake lines and I need to know 2 sizes:

What is the diameter of the stock brake piping?

What is the thread of the male connections to the rubber hoses?

Thanks!

Ok, brake hard lines are made in 5mm.

Only need to know the thread of the bolts in the ABS module.

Kuprito - Brake lines should NEVER be made of copper.  Copper fatigues too easily and will crack or break.

Don't do it out of copper!!  Use steel or stainless.

Yes, you are right.

I don't know why I said copper, I thought they were made from this.
