REFLECTOR:Hookin up the brakes

[Jim Agnew]

Craig,

To begin the cylinder is not taped for a tapered pipe
thread, it is metric and uses a straight thread.  I use a
standard banjo fitting with a straight thread 10mm bolt.  

This fitting was provided by Amazon Hose (and fittings) one
of the largest in the country and they know fittings and
hoses.
