Title: Brake pipe connectors
Post by: addy on 02 February 2023, 12:43:44

Would anyone, have the correct sizes I need for the brake line fittings, on the ABS pump and the one that goes to the flexi joint, on the front of a 2002 2.6 omega. I have found the brake line 3/16" 4.75mm. I am wanting to replace the front brake lines from the ABS pump to the flexi pipe.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Just ask for metric ones. Enough to replace everything on the car and leave some spares should give change from a fiver.




They're M10x1 if you want to make things complicated.....

Thanks Nick W for the quick reply. Sorry to sound stupid, but is that the same size as used on the ABS brake line fittings aswell?

Thanks again.

I'd imagine the original fittings that screw into the ABS unit will be fine ,
once you've replaced the hard lines and swaged them on the pipes .

yes the original pipes down to the abs unit rarely rust .and also as a plus point if you dont have to disconnect the abs block input and do the pipes one at a time theres less chance of having problems bleeding it. ive heard some people say you need to connect it to a tech unit to open the valves( may have misunderstood ) but at  you wont have to if you dont need to !

Almost certainly.


I have a stash of brake fittings(metric and imperial in both male and female) and an ABS unit in the loft to check. But I'm currently sorting the house for my parents to come home from hospital, and won't have a chance to try them.


I was going to say that there's no reason why they would be different to the other end, but the car and ABS are both German and they don't think like that.


Do you have a good flaring tool and a pipe bender that makes tight radius bends? Both will be necessary to do this job successfully.
