190 Brake Pipe Thread Size? by Mad-Monkey



Mad-Monkey
Anyone know what thread size is on the pipe into the caliper? I need to put a bolt in to hold the caliper and don't want to cross thread or damage it.

Can't be sure about the 190s. But the normal ones are metric, and M10x1 seems to ring a bell.

Was it a standard M10 as they are not M10x1 Standard M10s have a coarser pitch.

Ah, I thought it referred to length or something, I'll sort out a proper one then :)

The standard pitch for an M10 thread is 1.5mm, but the rarer fine pitches are 1.25mm or 1.0mm.

If you struggle, it may be better to get a proper fitting, and blank it off. I used a short length of pipe, with a flare one end and folded / soldered the other.
