Here's a closeup of the hose end, bolt and washers. The hose end connector is identical to that which was on the master cylinder end so this should easily replace the 90 degree AN hose end provided. We'll know better later this week when I can get to th

The threads on both fittings are 24/in. So that's a match. The issue is one is straight and the other pipe thread.

The new BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel) banjo bolts finally arrived from Speed Flow of Australia last week. Due to a death in the family and illnesses, I haven't gotten back to working on the Europa for several weeks. But I did today. I had also

After I put the aircraft back into the hanger, I loosened the master cylinder and rotated it about 30 degrees to the starboard. I'll see how that works tomorrow.

First try was just to bolt the BSPP banjo onto the brake. Needless to say, that was just too simple to work. It wouldn't seat properly in the BSPT brake.
