Need brake master cylinder fittings

[Lowrod]

I'm going to be using a hydro boost brake setup and want to use remote brake reservoirs due to the stock Mustang reservoir location.

I'm in need some type of fitting to install into the top of the master cylinder that will allow hose connections from the reservoir to the master cylinder.

Does anyone have any recommendations or suppliers?


Thanks you any useable information.

Not sure if it'll work with your master.. I used a Cobra master.. where both inlets are the same size.
I found that a pair of brass hose-barb PEX elbows fit.. really tight. Had to put on some brake fluid to push them into the rubber seals that were on the master. But.. they fit really snug, and don't leak one bit.
I can't for the life of me remember what size they are.. I just took one of the master cyl rubber grommets with me to Home Depot, and found the pair that fit. FYI.. these were NOT in the MIP Pipe Fittings Section, they were in the water hose section. These are PEX fittings.

This is the PEX fitting (http://www.homedepot.com/p/SharkBite-1-2-in-Brass-PEX-Barb-90-Degree-Elbow-UC248LFA/202270636) I used.. though.. like I said. .I don't recall the size.

Installed, before installing the reservoirs and EPDM hose. If you look close, you can see the "Turbo Coolant Banjo Fittings" bolted to the bottom of the blue reserviors, pointing directly back at the PEX fittings.

The Reservoirs I got off eBay. I actually ordered black ones, but the guy sent me these instead... managed to get a substantial discount as a result, so I kept them. I don't love the blue.

This was the banjo fitting. It was a "M16 x 1.5mm Turbo Water Coolant Pipe Garrett T3 For Skyline R31 R33 RB20 RB25DET"

It's actually an M16-1.5mm fitting thread, which is not the same as the reservoir which has a 5/8" thread.. but.. the 2 happen to be so close.. all I did was cut off the end of the threaded bolt, and it sinched up nicely.

Hope that helps.

This gives my a direction to go and I really appreciate the information. Thanks

While those pex fitting seem to fit fine, Lodestone Billetworks makes a really nice pair of adapters for 15 bucks. They fit perfectly. They call them Billet Aluminum Master Cylinder Nipples under the section on their site labeled FFR specific parts. You can adapt them with whatever fitting you want.
