I need a fitting, AN brake line adapter

I need a fitting that goes from a mid 70's Chevrolet caliper banjo bolt to a #3 AN female line. Any idea who would have one? I talked to a lot of the vendors at the SW Nats in OKC a few weeks back and no one really knew anything.


Mark Williams shows some fittings that will screw into a 1/8" pipe, can you directly replace a banjo fitting with a pipe thread or will it leak?

Thanks

 

I did this once on some early calipers using a AN3 to 7/16-20 IFM adapters and copper washers.

They also make an AN to Banjo fitting.

 

Check out a dirt track supply company. I keep the #4s on hand but we never have used the 3s. And the pipe threads won't work !!! Speedway shows a 7/16 x 20 thread #3 as a part # 617-4132 >>>.

 

Aeroquip makes AN banjo bolt adapters, I used them on a Mopar front disc swap...

 

So the 7/16-20 is what the GM caliper uses?

 

I bought some weird flare nuts from Inline Tube once. Maybe they can help your application as well. http://www.inlinetube.com/

 

Yup it's 7/16...... allstar part number 50062 for the banjo and the bolt is part number 50072.

Hope this helps

Oh ya it's 7/16 if its a big gm 73-77 caliper, if its a metric 78-87 the inlet is 10mmx1.50 pitch.

 

Thanks. I ordered the kit from Speedway. It should have all the stuff in it I need.

 

Find a Earls Performance Plumbing supplier in your area. They make all the weird stuff. Race Car guys can get the hook up.

Best source for odd stuff in the fitting world has to be Godman in Memphis, TN. If he doesn't have it, you don't need it.

I second that, Godman is good.

 

Or in your area check Parr Automotive or Smileys, they stock them as we get them often.

 

I too have used Inline Tube with success, they carry more automotive-specific fittings than most of the other AN vendors.

 

Speedway carries them also

 

This site is a great site to pickup stuff.

I solved a similar problem by buying pre-made banjo to -3 stainless braided lines. Probably would cut out a fitting if you did that.
