Braided Brake Hose & Brake Fittings
Braided Brake Hoses & Brake Fittings
Stainless steel braided brake hoses and the full range of end fittings to build them, made to order in the UK by BRT Motorsport. Every hose is built to your specified length, colour and fitting combination.
Rubber brake hoses expand under pressure. That expansion is what gives an older car its soft, vague pedal: some of the force you apply at the pedal goes into swelling the hose rather than clamping the pads. A PTFE-lined hose inside a stainless braid doesn't expand, so pedal feel is firmer, more consistent, and doesn't deteriorate as the fluid heats up on track.
Hose specification
- PTFE inner core — chemically inert, unaffected by brake fluid, and dimensionally stable under heat. 3mm (1/8") internal diameter
- Stainless steel outer braid, PVC coated and wipe-clean — resists abrasion, stone chips and corrosion. 8mm (5/16") outside diameter
- 4,206 PSI (290 bar) maximum working pressure, 12,618 PSI (870 bar) burst pressure
- Operating temperature −70°C to 250°C (−94°F to 482°F)
- Minimum bend radius 19mm — worth checking before you commit to a tight routing
- Nine colours — red, blue, black, yellow, orange, green, purple, carbon and clear braid
- Built to order, from 80mm to 8,000mm
- Fittings in 303/304 stainless steel, made in Great Britain
Identifying the fitting you need
Most people come here knowing they need a hose and not knowing which end fittings. Four things determine it:
Thread size and pitch. The common brake threads are M10x1, M10x1.25, M10x1.5, M12x1, M12x1.25, M12x1.5, 3/8" UNF, 7/16"x20, 7/16"x24 and 1/8" BSP. M10x1 is by far the most common on European cars. Thread pitch matters as much as diameter — an M10x1 will start to thread into an M10x1.25 port and then bind.
Male or female. A male fitting has the external thread and screws into a port. A female fitting has an internal thread and receives a male union.
Fixed or swivel. A swivel nut rotates freely on the hose end, letting you align the hose without twisting it during installation. A fixed fitting doesn't, so the hose must be routed to suit. Swivel is easier to fit in almost every case.
Circlip groove or plain. Many VAG, Ford, Renault and Toyota calipers locate the hose with a circlip or horseshoe clip that sits in a machined groove on the fitting. If your original hose has a clip retaining it at the caliper or chassis bracket, you need a circlip groove fitting rather than a plain one.
What's in this collection
- Banjo hose ends — M8, M10 3/8", M12 and 7/16", including extended and double-exit banjos. The extended M10 3/8" banjo also comes in 20°, 45° and 90° side bends for lateral exits
- Male fittings — fixed and swivel nut, in M10x1, M10x1.25, M12x1, 3/8" UNF, 7/16"x20 and 7/16"x24
- Female fittings — swivel nut, fixed and square swivel, in M10x1, M10x1.25, M12x1, M12x1.25, M12x1.5, 3/8" UNF, 7/16"x20 and 1/8" BSP
- Circlip groove females — including 17mm and 19mm hex, milled flat, and VAG, Ford, Porsche and Toyota specific patterns
- Bulkhead fittings and lock nuts — M10x1, M16 external, 3/8" UNF and 7/16", for chassis pass-throughs
- Clutch fittings — Audi, BMW, Ford, Renault and Renault Mégane push-in connectors, plus adapters converting an OE push-in clutch fitting to M10x1 male or female
- Inline fittings — tee piece and swaged 90° elbow, for splitting or turning a line mid-run
- Braided hose by the millimetre — in all nine colours
Inline and specialist fittings
Beyond the end fittings, a few parts solve specific problems:
- AN3 quick release dry break coupling — £32.99, stainless steel or aluminium. Both halves seal as they separate, so a line can be disconnected and reconnected without draining the system or drawing air in. Worth having where something comes apart regularly — removable steering, quick-change assemblies, trackside servicing
- Brake hose tee piece — £20.95, crimped stainless. Splits one line into two mid-run without needing a bulkhead union
- Brake hose swaged elbow — £19.98, stainless 90°. For turning a line where there is no room for a bend radius
- Heat protection sleeve — £14.75 per metre. Slides over the braid to shield a hose routed near an exhaust or turbo. Note this is sold per metre, while the hose itself is priced per millimetre
- 3/8" x 24 UNF banjo brake light switch — £12.95. A direct replacement for the standard master cylinder brake switch, mounting on a banjo port
Building a custom hose
Use our Custom Brake Hose Builder to specify both ends, the angle at each end, colour and exact length, and we'll build it. Straight, 20°, 45° and 90° bends are available on most fittings.
Not sure what you need?
Send us a photo of your existing hose ends, or your vehicle Make & Model, and we'll identify the fittings for you before you order. We build these daily and can usually tell from a picture.
