i have supplied goodridge flexi hoses.
the rears fit ok into i think m10 1mm sierra calipers.
but for the front i require 1/8,27 npt for willwood calipers,can i get an adapter or something.
any ony else have this problem on an mnr.
I guess you have Wilwood calipers, same thing happened to me. I didn't fancy adapters as I thought they would stick out from the caliper. MNR
said they would refund the money for two hoses (I would have just prefered them to have been supplied corectly) ended up sending them to a place to
get new ends put on, I think this cost about £12

Im sure Russ Bost could help you out with this, I have brake lines made by him and they are first class!

As above, speak to Russ Bost at furore.
Top man, a pair of replacements wont cost
a lot and in the colour of your choice!!

Same here, need a set even though someone posted to say they have fitted theirs on the wilwood calipers and they were fine. so i did the same (on the
last build) and they were also fine, but i did feel a bit uneasy with screwing them in the calipers.
so this time i might try and source the right ones
Learn from my mistake everyone
1/8" NPT is a very similar thread to 10 X 1mm - I put one brake line in - it was tight, but didn't cross thread etc and seated fully home
ok.
Went to do the other one, same again tight but screwed almost fully in - right upto the point I sheared the hose fitting off in the caliper
Took a lot effort to accurately drill out the fitting - which I achieved, then ran the NPT tap through to clean the threads.
I took the other one out as I new it was wrong - I've arranged to have thread inserts put into the calipers to convert the thread to 10 X 1mm.
Had to buy a new set of hoses - oh well, at least I've got two spares.
some time end of jan there should be some made for the npt rally design calipers, supplier who makes our hoses for our calipers which are m10 x 1 is
willing to make them if we have the volume, so if you guys can update here who needs them that would be a big help
cheers
