REFLECTOR:Hookin up the brakes

[KeithHallsten]

Andy,
Since the brake master cylinders are Japanese car parts, I would certainly
expect that the thread is metric!  I found banjo fittings that seem like
just the thing at Pegasus Auto Racing (www.pegasusautoracing.com) see page
67 in their catalog, "Brake Adaptor Fittings and Banjo Bolts".  The
combination of a Part #3265-20 3AN to M10 Banjo Fitting ($8.49) and a Part
#3242-3 M10x1.0 Banjo Bolt ($4.99)  would take you from the M10 thread on
the clutch master cylinder to AN-3 tubing at 90 degrees in any direction.

Now all I have to do is get from AN-3 tubing to Nylaflow tubing (which I
have already glassed onto the gear legs!)
