Ive hacked at my old MC and it seems as if the flare fitting inside of the MC is a made on fittinga nd not removable like the many write ups i have seen. Dont know why mine is so different but it is leaving me stranded. Ive tried finding a banjo fitting to use but the flare angles are never correct. I dont really want to go buy and bend a new brake line, ill never get it as strait and as factory looking as the stock line.
I could return the Tokiko unit i have and get the Nabco unit but it doesnt come in a 1in diameter. Only a 15/16, and 7/8 was my stock unit.
Btw i am running newly rebuilt front z32 30mm brakes in the front, stock rear.
thanks,~Sam
