REFLECTOR:Hookin up the brakes

[Ronnie Brown]

Hi Andy,
I found the connector fittings at NAPA.  They are brass 3/16" compression
unions and will work on both the nyloflow and the AN3 aluminum tubing.

| 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!)
