Title: Brake fittings.
Post by: Moogie38 (Noel) on 19 Feb 23, 12:25 pm
Is there a 10mm banjo fitting for 3/16 copper line ?
All I can seem to find are banjo fittings for braided hose.

There probably is a brake fitting but I couldn’t find one.

I did find that a Suzuki jimny flexible pipe has a 10mm banjo on one end and a 10mm thread on the other.  I used a copper pipe with 3/16 pipe on one end and a 10mm male on the other to connect to the flexible jimny pipe.

It’s a bit of a long way around but it worked!

Thanks Mark, I would be happy with that option,  its something I could work with.

After a bit of searching I came up with these.

M10x1 banjo adapter to allow you to use 3/16" copper brake pipe instead of trying to find one of those ridiculously long double ended banjo flexi hoses. I found these at

You will also require these m10x1 female brake pipe tube nut.

I'm in the process of connecting it all up at the moment so we'll let you know how it goes.
