i think the proper name would be , "metric brake fitting" just go to an auto parts store , they'll know what your talking about
no they wont.
you are partially right. i assume you say that because of experiences at schuck's, autozone etc.....
from a counterman's perspective a "metric brake fitting" can refer to a lot of things. are you connecting male to male? male to female? do you need to adapt 2 different sizes?
dusterdude...i am certainly not trying to make this personal. as a general rule, if you can take parts and pieces with you, it helps ensure you leave with what you want. from my experience, most people don't know what they want.
tygrant...using stainless braided right to the caliper is not a bad idea. it eliminates any additional leak points. you can use zipties to keep things out of the way of the tire, or if you want to get fancy you can use adell clamps, or an insulated clam, (commonly used for wiring) to keep things a little more sanitary.
i am not sure about the AN part. i didn't see where it was mentioned that the stainless braided line tygrant is using is an AN type line. i don't see a need to convert. AN has its own sizes and threads, neither metric or sae.
just my 2 cents, from what i have read.
