I have 3/4ton chevy calipers on all discs on my setup. A banjo bolt setup is all that fits, but I cannot find any fittings that fit the bolt properly other than the stock lines from Autozone. But of course those are WAY too short, and don't work with the way I have my lines run. I am making custom lines, I just need the fitting ends for the Banjo bolts.
Any ideas?
These would be ideal as I already have lines made, this would just allow me to put the adapters on, but I'd rather not order online.

Look in the yellow pages for racing shops and hydraulic shops. They would have what you need. Just take in what you already have and they should come up with something.
I built my entire brake system on my Jeep from ordering online. www.afcoracing.com and www.speedwaymotors.com should have everything you would need to run AN lines and adapters and fittings.

Crap I just ran into another problem. Like I said, since I already have hoses, I am just trying to fit them up. Those adapters would work fine if I didn't already have a male end on the hose. So I am thinking if I just cut off the ends I have now, and put new proper banjo fitting ends on it, I will be good.
But this dang -4 AN and -3AN crap has me confused. All I know is that I had 1/4 inch hard line with fittings on it. I got my hose guy to make hoses that will have the exact same size fittings. But I don't know what size hose he used. I used Stainless on the front lines, and rubber on the rear since it ran along the axles.
Christ how in the hell did I get myself this fawked up, oh I know Autozone gave me the wrong bolt to start with. :mad3:

I think the AN number is always the nuber of "16ths"--ie AN #3 is 3/16; AN #4 is 4/16. etc.

yes. The majority of brake fittings are #3. Some circle track guys use #4, but their is no reason to do so.

I got my hoses at a circle track shop, and my fittings at NAPA. Check them out, my local store had a rack with a bunch of bins and I found some couplers in there.
In case you change your mind.

The circle track guys I know sometimes to choose to run 1/4" lines because it gives them more fluid volume which can be beneficial when combined with brake fluid coolers/circulators. I'd agree with you that there probably isn't any reason to do it to an offroad truck though.
