Hello all
I'm proper confused with what bulk head fitting i need to get i need to order it tonight/ tomorrow morning for a chance to get it by the weekend. Unless anyone knows any places in Bristol i can get them from.
Anyhow the question is this..... what bulkhead fitting do i need to get to attach the copper brake lines in all 4 corners. I have not purchased the flex lines yet so these can be male or female.
Is this the right thing?

Hi,
The first fitting you have pictured there is a braided flexi fitting so if you have that of your flexi line you just need a M10x1 female fitting on your copper line.
The second one will join your copper line and flexi line if they both have a female fitting.
Have you flexi lines yet? what fitting do they have.

sorry just realised you don't have flexi lines so what you want to do is get your bulkhead fitting on the flexi and just a female fitting on your copper line

The flexi lines have the bulkhead adapters fitted to them. On the end of the brake pipe you install a female union. Or.... Are you looking to make the flexi hoses yourself.
You can get them from any motor factor. I bought my copper lines and the unions from the same place and the flared the pipe ends for me.

Ahh i see. I did not realise that they came with the bulkhead fittings. I guess in an ideal world for me flexi lines would have a male at one end and female at the other that would connect into the bulkhead fitting and caliper.

Yes, bulkhead fittings are on flexible brake lines.
