Sprint LSV ..which fitting please?

[shaunroche]

Hi chaps, ordered a Goodrich flexible brake line kit from Rimmer's yonks ago and have come to fit it to the LSV and see I need a male-male adapter to connect it up...could you recommend what fitting I need please?

Thanks!

In all previous Gooodrich Sprint rear hoses i've bought, the adaptor fitting for the LSV has come with it.

But I have something that will probably suffice in the form of a M/M 3/8" unf fitting which is the standard bit between the 2 front-to-rear sections on all Dolomites.

Yes, the Goodrich kits I’ve made up and supplied in the past had the correct fitting for the rear (slightly more expensive) hose. I suspect they’ve sent you three front hoses.

From some suppliers it’s prudent to check what has been sent immediately upon receipt…

Thanks for the replies chaps, there are two pipes the same, longer length and the shorter third pipe has the swivel female port on one end so I think they are correct.

There was a connector in the box, but it looks like this..

I think your need an adapter with the round end on both sides or it may leak, why not take your hose to pirtek ( the hose people ) and get them to change the end, your have one less joint that could leak

Could take it to Pirtek Dave but there's none round here, I was hoping that someone would tell me the thread of male male adapter, think it's 3/8 unf?

My issue is that I am unsure what creates the seal in the LSV...does the adaptor bottoming out in the bottom seal it or does it need a copper washer....

Its the rounded end that makes the seal

or go to Car Builder Solutions and get PSBF04

My adaptor has the rounded end both ends. The flat end on that will go into the LSV but will need a copper washer and the rounded or tapered end into the hose.

Thanks Chaps, that's sorted it - wasn't sure but can now forge ahead...onwards and upwards!
