Right angle brake unions

Anyone know where i could get 2 right angle brake unions with an m10x1 male one end and an m10x1 female the other. Could do with some as the flexi hose to my rear caliper is at a bit of an awkward angle and seems a bit short. Been looking for a while and can't find anything.

send russ bost a u2u, get him to make you up some new hoses
he should be able to make you the adapters if needed though. even if it was a 90 degree union, 1" of hose, and then the female end?

though, if he was to make up an adapter, you'd be as well to just get a new hose made up instead

Rather than use male 90 degree - how about a banjo fitting instead?

It's not a major problem just would make it sit a bit neater. Can you get banjos for sierra rear calipers? What do others do with MK indy R's, seems like the rear hoses could do with being an inch or two longer.

not sure if it's just my sierra calipers, but unsure if the body of the caliper is smooth enough for banjo fittings?

It would be easier to change the angle where they attach to the solid line by bending the pipe and bracket.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

The reason for the elbows is because the hoses don't quite reach the chasis. I can make brackets that makes he copper pipe meet the flexi's it would just make it look neater, i guess it would never be seen though.
