Ford M16 calliper brake pipes
Hi Could anybody make me a pair of the short 'solid' pipes that fit from the calliper to the bracket that fits in the rear of the
calliper. Think they would be the same as originally have been fitted to a Cortina. I believe some people put the flex pipe straight in to the
calliper but there isn't a machined surface on the calliper so reluctant to do this.
I don't have original part so afraid I don't know what the thread is, or how long they would need to be. So hoping that sombody has made
them before and knows what I need, but would be a male (calliper end) to male bulkhead (bracket fitting end) fitting
Beer tokens waiting Many thanks Graham

They really need to be made to measure really best to spend £40 quid on the tool (Power Hand or identical Franklin or Draper Expert Hand held on
car type I can highly recommend).
If you really need them made up at a push you can carefully measure the length require using solid cooper wire and adding an extra allowance for the
greater bend radius required for the thicker pipe.
The fiitings and flares required are (1) Caliper end: male M10 DIN single convex DIN (2) Pipe end: female M10 double (convex + concave) DIN.
SAE flares are different from DIN but in practice using SAE in place of DIN flares works as long as the flares are plump well made flares and the
system carefully checked for leaks.
