Roger Ford Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I want to remove my brake bias adjuster as I suspect it may be implicated in the brake binding issues I've been suffering. That will leave me with two flared ends of brake pipe that can probably be pushed together with only very minor bending of the pipe. Is there a simple fitting I can get which will join these two pipes? I don't really want to have to replace the entire pipe run if I can avoid it.

6speedmanual Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 You probably make need to make an adaptor. I'm guessing the adjuster will have male unions with single flares. A short adaptor pipe with female flare nuts and double flares should join them. (effectively replacing the in-line adjuster) or this here which Jonathan linked to, if the pipes will pull close enough together.

Roger Ford Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks all. I assume it's this that I'm going to need: Brass 3/8 in UNF In-Line Connector - http://www.holden.co.uk/productimagesL/065_646.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Deslandes Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 you might get one from a local motor factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ford Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Think Automotive are just up the road from me - I'm sure they'll have one. I just needed to figure out what to ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
