ColdScrip Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) 10mm 1.0 pitch inverted flare. 30 inches. I bent both of mine by hand with no issues. No adapters are needed on the lines. Standard flare will not work. You will barely be able to thread the nut in to the master cylinder or proportioning valve. It will also probably not seal. If you want to clarify standard vs inverted the correct one is the one with the nut that has threads all the way down. The wrong one had threads then it had a smaller diameter unthreaded shaft headed towards the flare. Sources: Did this last week on another quest and I bought the standard flare by mistake first. http://www.andyz28.com/1lecd/brake%20lines/tube%20nuts.jpg You want the one on the left. http://www.andyz28.com/1lecd/brake%20lines/index.htm The ’82-’83, and very early 1984 cars used the same fitting that had been the standard in the automotive industry for decades, the “inverted flare”.

JohnnyWadd Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 10mm 1.0 that's what I needed to know. I need the adaptor they lets the -3 an abs line connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up as a picture for reference. Obviously these aren't camaros. I quoted that section to show that it is called an "inverted flare" and that the left nut is what you should look for. Maybe its the frustration of trying to fix electrical gremlins on a quest atm but I am amazed that you thought I was implying to get that camaro line.

Frenchi934 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I used a 30" standard flare line and bent it like this. m10 by 1.25 if i recall correctly... http://a.imageshack.us/img814/1856/sdc10777.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdScrip Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Perhaps i'm confusing bubble flare for standard flare. Edit: I believe its called standard inverted flare which is what we have. The kind that we don't have is the bubble flare. Regardless going by the above picture (left nut) will prevent you from getting the wrong one. Edited January 13, 2011 by ColdScrip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyWadd Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 If you want to make your own you can do it easily. Once i found all the right parts i realized that. Anyway you just need a -3AN line like this that is 19" in hose length and has the 90 degree end. (a 120 degree end would work on the one side for the master cyliner) Like this..http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/1646/20110112204056.th.jpgAnd a pair of adaptors that are 10mmx1.0 to -3AN. the adapor is a fragola part number 650310 the factory crimped hoses are available at many places including ebay and www.verociousmotorsports.com and http://fragolaperformancesystems.com/30steelbrakeadapters/steelbrakeadapters.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
