I'm looking for Stainless Steel brake pipe fittings, specifically male M10 x 1mm for 3/16 pipe for a DIN / ISO bubble flare for my BMW.

I seem to be able to find SAE without issue, but DIN I'm struggling with, other than a handful of suppliers in the US which would end up costing an arm and a leg, mainly due to charges applied to clear any parcel (parcel farce adding £8 for this at the last time of checking).

Does anybody know of any EU suppliers?

I've just emailed automec with the above as they seem like a prominent UK supplier.

The reason for wanting to go stainless is I've got mild steel into stainless brake lines and they have seized, I wanted to try and improve my chances when replacing the pipes by going stainless to stainless fitting with kunifer pipe.

Stainless into stainless has a good chance of seizing through galling. I'd personally stick to quality plated steel parts and apply a generous coating of under-body wax them them.

Brass is a popular choice for that type of thing - it's strong, easy to machine and corrosion resistant.
