Default Brake line size?



I'm looking to buy brake lines for these calipers that I just bought. What size would I need and any recommendations on what brake lines would work? Would stock brake lines work. These calipers will be replacing my 1994 camaro lt1 single piston brakes.

You'll probably have to call SSBC. if they're like my Willwood's then it's a 1/8 npt fitting, and you'll need an adapter for your stock lines, which i think is M10 if not mistaken.

Wilwood sold me an adapter and a braided line that fit to the stock harf line. Worked great.

Same setup for my strange brakes. Npt on the caliper, AN over to an adapter, which bolts to a stock line. Got all my stuff from midwest chassis.

What you will need click here.

You may also need the fitting for the caliper if you do not have it. Call the manufacture to check what it takes because not all aftermarket calipers use the same fitting.

How does the fitting for the caliper look?

That kit doesn't have a caliper fitting, most calipers already come with a fitting installed but if yours was not supplied I would see what the thread is before just trying to screw in the most common.

It should be a -3 on the braided line side.
