Brake line installproblem/question

[Racingredcoyote]

Hello fellow Forummembers,

I’m kinda stuck with a big problem here. I got my new rear brake calipers with new brake lines. The screw that has to go in the brake caliper has a different thread than the thread of the brake caliper which is smaller than the brakeline-screw.

I made a video on the subject. Is this normal for the first time? Or could this be a production defect of the caliper, cuz as far I know these brakeline-screws should be universal? And could this be bad, if I just screw it in with the wrench (which will f* up the inner thread). And blow the metal out of the caliper?

I kinda need some advice here

That bolt definitely does not look correct (to me) and I would not force it into the caliper otherwise you risk destroying the threads in the caliper.

Take the caliper with you to your local parts store and get the correct banjo bolts. Happens.

You do not mention what caliper or brake lines you are using. Typically the late Ford stuff is 10x1.5mm, it looks like the banjo bolt you have is 10x1.0mm.

I think i figured it out that I need a HPT 1/8, brake line screw

Thanks! I’ve mailed the supplier and tomorrow I’m going to the local autostore. Fingerscrossed!
