Does anybody know the part for ties in the brake lines on the rear conversion? MK4 is larger in size.

The VW mk4 inlet on the caliper  is much larger than the line to the shoe system. Just looking for a way to up the size of brake line fitting.

If it is not M10x1.0 then you may have banjo bolt version calibers?

Could be M12x1.0? Some sources mentions M12x1.5 so dunno, do check both.

Da!

 

I'm using some Nissan calipers on the back of me raceycar,

and a banjo bolt to inverted flare adapter works a treat.

The Nissan uses something like a 12mm banjo bolt, which is pretty standard.

 

Any idea what dimensions of the caliper schpigot are?

I've never used the VW calipers, just because I've never run across a set...

I've got a pair of MK4 golf calipers in the garage, I'll have a measure later. 

When you say spigot, which bit, inlet or bleed valve?

The inlet, where the fluid goes in.  

A pic would really help, to show if it has a 

flat for a banjo crush washer, or a flare at the bottom.

Here you go.

Fitting is M12x1 and has a crush washer either side of the end of the brake hose.

 

And just for fun, IE adapter 😃

Thanks!

 

So 12mm banjo to 10mm inverted flare adapter, and done!
