Does anyone know where I can find male M10 x 1.0 fittings for AN-03 hardline? Do they exist? Goodridge makes female M10 x 1.0 fittings for their line of 816 stainless hardline. That would require an adapter, which introduces one more joint and one more potential leak point.

I would like to keep my brake system completely metric if possible (Volvo), but I may have to use some AN-03 fittings in some locations. I am deciding on which thread size Tilton proportioning valve to purchase.

For whatever reason I'm not getting a response from the link, but you can try:

Bonaco (http://bonacoinc.com)

If it doesn't work...(909)985-3429

They are a manufacturer of all kinds of fittings and plumbing stuff. Mostly Drag racing customers....but if they don't make it , they should be able to tell you who does.

David, the Pegasus (PegasusAutoRacing.com) catalog shows a part number 1365-16 on page 73 which is 3AN to male 10mm x 1.0 Metric flare (don't know if the hex nut is large enough to put on a brass crush washer between the nut & the caliper) $7.99 each. They also show a brake line kit from Longacre on page 118 part number 4521 $111.99. Fits all kinds of stuff.

Also, NAPA has metric and SAE hardlines and fittings. By your brake valve to the american size and run your hard line with their fitting. Use your fittings on the other end. Longest length I think is 6" so buy a couple of unions, too. Good luck, Chuck
