AP Brake upgrade question

[Dr Peter]

I have the AP upgrade on my build and who wouldn't.
I'm going to make up my own brake hose's as I have loads of braded hose and I won’t the sleeve the hose and run it differently

Does anyone know the thread size I need for the Callipers?
Its either 3/8" or 10mm
Do I want a concave seat or convex seat?

Not sure about the seat, I thought they took standard banjos M10 for sure x1.0 I think. Also the length I am struggling to remember, short or long, but you can probably guage that be measuring the depth of the hole in the calipar.

pb3 is 100% correct M10x1.0 and the AP calipers do not have a seat in then but need to seal on a copper washer on the outside of the caliper. BUT remember that self-assembly PTFE braided brake hose is a SVT failure point, the ends must be swaged on.

If your point about swaged ends is correct then the nice man missed my home made pipes.

Yep,

missed mine on a Westfield too but that was a few years ago and I believe they look harder now!!

Don't really understand the rule - unless Goodridge have been loaning money to our Tony and his mates!
