Default Caliper question
I can't find a straight answer for a simple question. I just mounted c3 4 piston front calipers that were for a 74 vette onto my off road rig. All I need to know is what style and thread hose is suppose to be used with this caliper. I really need to come off it with a 90* fitting. The face looks like it should use a copper washer.

Can't help you witth the size of the fitting, but it definitely uses a copper washer.

I believe thats a 7/16-20 thread and while not cheap a banjo type fitting will get you to a 90* with copper washers.
