opelman Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hi, I am fitting a pair of Wilwood Midilite calipers and cosworth 283mm discs. Can anyone help please with the specification of brake hose connections that I will need to request ? The car is a Manta GTE, many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Power Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) the wilwood calipers are odd in that they use 1/8 npt threaded fittings. As they are a taper thread threaded direct into the (alloy) caliper we use 1/8npt to m10x1 male to male adaptors, so that whenever you unscrew the hose fittings you unscrew them from the adaptor not from the caliper, so not risking the threads in the caliper. everything on a standard manta is m10 x 1, so if you adapt right on the back of the caliper then it keeps things simple.
