for the life of me I can't find this fitting and it's slowingme up. I don't want to use AN fittings, too much $$
M10x1.25 Bulkhead - male on both ends with a concave end (for flared fitting)
this has put my $2009GRM car on hold and it's killin me!
Thanks!
I don't think I have ever seen anything like you describe.
So do you need something like this:
or is it like this:
Edelmann has #270330 which looks like this:
The male end is 10 x 1.25 thread which will install in an inverted flare female port. The female side is for standard 3/16" flared brake line. It obviously ain't a bulkhead fitting, but if you could use a short piece of 3/16" inverted flare line to connect two together, you'd have a 10 x 1.25 male thread on each end.
You might also try www.batinc.net They are a Mocal distributor and have all kinds of crazy metric fittings.
Junk yard. Look for Toyotas. Follow the brake lines and you'll find one. Some are easier to get to than others.

Like this... I just want to reroute the brake lines on my civic and don't want to spend $50-$75 on AN fittings
Have someone at NAPA check their Weatherhead catalog. They are available.

I feel your pain. Metric brake parts can be amazingly difficult to find. SAE and AN? No problem.
I think you can find that on the fuel system of a Mercedes. The CIS ones. I will look in my stash tomorrow. If i have one its yours.
I just got off my butt and went to the shop to look. Sorry all the fittings I have are 10x1.5 or 8x1.00. I would "liberate" them from cores going back to Bosh and keep them with my pressure guage.
Try a local hydralic hose and fitting suplier, a Parker store is best. They will probably have one in steel at a cheaper price than racing AN fittings. since its metric don't be surprised if they have to order one, but you never know, I am constantly amazed at the seemingly obscure fittings that my local parker store has. BTW, you might not want to tell them that the part is for brakes on a car, they might try to give you the liability blah blah blah speach. Its a hydraulic fitting on an imported no name brand piece of constuction dohickey
Are you 100% sure about the thread pitch? Reason I ask, the Mazda stuff I just bought adapter fittings for was 10 x 1.0. If that's what you have, try these people: http://store.fedhillusa.com/316475mmtubingandnuts.aspx and look at UM13-3. http://store.fedhillusa.com/um133.aspx
