I need a 10mm x 1mm tap because I took my ABS unit out and I need to join up the lines together. I figure my dad can make the block that the lines connect into but he doesn’t have a 10mm x 1mm tap. I would only need to borrow it for a day. ---

how did you measure the bolt pattern? normal 10mm Tp is 1.5 with the ‘fine’ thread being 1.25mm you may have a hard time finding a tap like that, if the TP measure is right… ---

I was told (by Jantos) that the stock thread on the brake lines are 10mm x 1mm. I took his word for it because he’s done a similar thing… I honestly don’t have the tools to measure so I just went by what someone told me. ---

it is 10mmx1 G please make me one of these and let me know how much its gonna run me (PM or MSN me dude) You also need a distrobution block from the rear sine the fronts go from one line out of hte master cylinder to 2 lines out of the ABS unit. The rear distrobution block works to do that job. Thanks man, take care ---

I need to find a tap first. I dunno how excited my dad is to make stuff for others, since Scott already asked for one. But I’ll look into it since it is a simple contraption. And I am aware of the 2-in-1 line for the front that’s why he was gonna make a T-connector for the front and a straight line for the rears, all on the same block. But first I need to find the tap. ---

Thanks Sasha! I didn’t see any T-connectors but hopefully I can get that elsewhere. There is also [www.adaptall.com](http://www.adaptall.com) that has BSPT fittings but I don’t know if it would work well with brake fittings. This place is pretty much right around my area so I’m gonna drop by. Any idea what times they are open? Cuz of work I don’t get into town till around 6pm and by then most places are closed. ☹ Are they open on weekends? ---

These places tend to have shitty hours, I would assuume they close between 4.30-5 on weekdays and are only open until about 1-2 on saturdays. You’d have to call them dude I’m not too sure. For the “T” like I said above you can actually use the S13/S14 rear brake distrobution block, just find one off of any parts car. ---

I’m calling them up tomorow to ask about hours and if they have T-connector. In the meant I’m gonna get Scotty to drop by there if they do have the parts so that he can buy it for me since I work 9-6:30 everyday. Unless they are open on the weekend…in that case I can get it myself. ---

Gonad, From the sounds of things you are forgetting that brake line fittings seal against a taper. ie the thread is whatever, but that is not what seals the connection, it is the flare of the line up against the taper in the caliper/MC/wheel cyl/dist block. You may have a way around it since you are getting it made, just something to consider. ---

> [@TheDecline](#): > > i have a 10mx1m tap Let me see how it goes with the shop mentioned above by Sasha. If I get nowhere, I might take you up on the offer. BTW, How much are these taps if I wanted to buy one? By anychance Canadian Tire or Princess Auto sell them? If they’re not that expensive, I could probablly make back the $ if I make distrib-blocks for others for a sall fee. ---
