【ACTIVE】Brake Fitting Adapter Review

Required on Caliper side when replacing brake hose (Screw Pitch Caution)

It is needed for the part that connects to the Caliper when the Brake hose is replaced. I purchased RSOEMfor BREMBO Caliper with Straight Type & Blue 1mm thread pitch. It is not difficult to make, but it is aluminum material, so it cannot be torqued large. I wish this part was included with the Hose. View detail

So-called Caliper Adapter

This is a fitting part for the brake system, but unlike the general banjo adapter, it is a part that is directly attached to the stainless mesh brake hose (#3).
In addition to cutting the hose, shaping the end faces, and forming the wires, it is necessary to accurately insert the internal parts called Olive to prevent the socket from falling out.
The level of work difficulty is quite high.

Failure to do so will result in the Brake slipping out and dying, so it is painful unless you understand the structure and are quite confident in your detailed work, or you have experience in making Brake hoses many times.
If the hose is assembled in a way that is easy to assemble, the effect of the hose reinforced with stainless mesh wire will be lost, and you will end up with a disappointing hose that is better than a rubber hose...but only a touch better than a rubber hose.
The angle cannot be adjusted after assembly as is the case with the Banjo adapter type, so it is necessary to consider the direction and angle from the time of assembly.
It takes a lot of hang to put it together well, and there are very few amateurs who can do it well.

Fortunately, I have experience in the past in producing 200 hose kits a day for a certain company, so I am very familiar with this fitting process and can freely assemble them in 5mm increments.

The Banjo adapter type would have eliminated such difficulties, but why bother using the troublesome Olive type?
It's a Type that I think lighter and Simpler is Cooler.
It's a world of complete self-congratulation, where the loud, anodized, lumpy, hardened Hose hates Large.
The part number indicates that it is an authorized Goodridge product.
Banjo made by Goodridge is thinner than those made by other companies, which is good for a stylish finish.

I don't want to use banjo around the Hydraulic Clutch, so I have made all the oil lines with a fitting system, but then I can't use a common banjo bolt.
This Adapter replaces the Banjo bolt and connects the fitting to the Master Cylinder, Caliper, or Release cylinder.
One Side is a #3 ANSize (3/8x24) to match the Fitting, and the other is a Spec. with a choice of Screw Pitch and Convexity to match the target.

While the other Parts part numbers are GoodridgeOEM Product numbers, this Adapter is not, and is not a GoodridgeOEMParts.
(GoodridgeOEM has a groove at the apex of the hexagonal part where the wrench hits in the case of millimeter pitch.)

But well, such a thing can be easily made by cutting a hexagonal bar, cutting a Screw and matching the Taper angle, so there is no problem even if it is not GoodridgeOEM.
In fact, it can be said that the carefully crafted surface finish and Screw cutting, which can only be achieved by domestic production, provide higher performance than GoodridgeOEM.

In this case, Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) Caliper and Clutch on the Master Cylinder side of the Clutch.
(The release cylinder side of the clutch is made of GoodridgeOEM material that was left over on hand.:Aluminum, since it is the part that does not move, we decided to use aluminum.)
Performance is Perfection.
The precision is still good, and there is no Screw snagging that I feel with the GoodridgeOEM.
The price should be finished at a lower price and this is a RECOMMENDATION. View detail

To improve clutch hose routing

I purchased Active's clutch hose kit for each car model and assembled it once, but our car has Okumura's Inner Kit in the front fork and the fork top is sticking out.
The 90-degreesBanjo adapter in the kit made the handling a little strange, so I bought an additional Straight fitting to improve the situation.
As a result, I'm happy with the nice handling.
Material for peace of mind:I chose Stainless Steel, but Material:It was quite expensive compared to Aluminum. View detail

Clutch masterHose to Straight.

I read on webike that lowering the resistance of the hydraulic path of the hydraulic clutch master lightens the lever operation, so I installed it.
The Clutch master side used Banjo, so we routed it like Wire.
The clutch release had already been replaced, but it seems lighter. View detail

Essentials to connect the Horse to Direct

Purchased because I can't connect Hose directly to Caliper without it.
The price is about the same as the Banjo adapter, so you can use it if you like. View detail
