How many Brake fittings?

PostPost by: pharriso » Tue Apr 04, 2017 2:01 pm

Anyone that has a later Federal Elan with dual circuit brakes know how many fittings it takes to redo the Brake lines?

How many 3/8" male fittings?
How many 3/8" female fittings?
How many 3 or 4 way connectors?


I'm hoping someone that has renovated their car will know.

Not sure if this applies, but on a Plus2, the rear fittings are 7/16" from master cylinder to balance block and out of the block. This is to keep the lines straight front to rear.

Check to see if the front calipers are not the later model with metric thread :)
