Hispec brake lines

I'm about to order some new brake hoses to go with my new Hispec callipers, however I've not got a clue what things are called!

So 2 questions, what are the correct fitting hose ends for hispec callipers, pic here:


And the other end, it's actually the same as the Sierra brake calliper fitting, pics here: Description

m10 x 1.0 is the thread in the caliper (im assuming your using the sierra replacement caliper?)

If one of the ends is shorter, it'll probably be the caliper one... the other end will be a bulkhead fitting, which needs a securing nut and a female connector...

The caliper will be an NTP fitting, although you can do what I did and use a copper washer and cut the end of the screw threads short so the as not to stick to far in or if you want an angled fitting use a banjo bolt.

From other threads best talking to russbott (search on username and send a U2U) about your requirements as he will make up the fittings to your exact needs at a good price.

Do not forget to measure with the wheels at full droop and full lock, this can easily add a few inches, to stop fouling you tighten with a twist.

Big thanks to Russbost, who lived up to his reputation on this forum and patiently listened to my attempts to describe what I wanted, correctly deciphered and promptly sent out the correct hoses.

Also thanks go to Omega, Ben and Mark

Cheers
Chris
