    Stainless brake line fitting sizes help

    The 200x is so close to being complete, the only thing left is a new front brake line. I decided to go with Goodridge brand universal clearcoated stainless line, check it out here:

    Now for these you have to buy banjo bolt adapters like this:

    only I don't know if I need 10mm or 12mm pieces. I know what type of pieces I need and length of hose and everything else, just not what size fittings. Anyone ever build stainless lines and come across this? I should say this will be for the front brake system on an 84 200x. Thanks for all your help.

    If I were to guess I would say 12mm. But I don't know. Are you going to use the straight fitting? I think they come stock with that type of fitting.

    The caliper connection is a 35 degree bend fitting and the piece at the master cylinder is a straight fitting. The don't come with fittings when you buy the universal lines, so I have to buy the line and two separate fittings.

    I don't really need the part numbers because I already measured the length I need. Thanks for the sizing for the fittings though, it's greatly appreciated.

    Just a heads up to anyone building stainless brake lines, you need 10mm fittings and bolts for a 200x (83-85 at least). The sizing goes by the internal threads on the caliper's and master cylinder's which is 10mm. Just got mine and put it on, works fantastic and I'm sure it will last practically forever.
