    Trying to find someone to make me a front brake line for a 86 Husky caliper with a Honda MC. The Brembo uses a 10x1.00mm thread straight fitting instead of a banjo style. Does it seal internally or with a copper crush washer? I see no machined landing for the copper washer.

    it just screws into the master and bottoms out. i paid around $90.00 for a NOS brake line in the mid 1990's.

    The Brembo caliper seals with copper washers. Usual fitment is a banjo. Be careful of the length of bolt you use as the thread depth is shallower than your usual Japanese ones. If you use a 8mm thick banjo fitting us an 18mm long bolt (measured length us under the hex to the end).
    If you use a straight fitting the use a male/male adaptor and a brake hose with a swivel female end. That will make it easier to fit.

    This is the 86 single pot brembo with the straight thread. No banjo at the caliper. Does anyone know anybody making lines with this fitting? Or should I machine a smooth landing for a crush washer to seal properly? I know it's a lot of work for such a crappy brake, but it is what it is. Unless someone has figured out how to put a dual piston caliper on the 86?

    Go to Venhill USA and have them make you one. They do all my custom cables and lines. Plus tons of colors.

    Cheaper than other cable manufactures as well.

    I checked Venhill's site and I didn't see the straight fitting for the caliper. Checked coremoto as well. No luck. I'll call Venhill tomorrow to double check though. Has anyone had a line made for the 86 caliper somewhere else?

    Go on the Venhill, UK site. Has better breakdown for hoses, fittings, etc..... I do that sometimes then contact USA site with the part numbers or info. The have lines you can build on your own.
