we are a new team.
what all are the brake line fittings required for DUAL SPLIT MASTER CYLINDER system. And is there any helpful study material or videos for better understanding .

It is polite (and you're more likely to get a useful response) if you introduce yourself, what school you represent, and what research you have done already and why you're having trouble finding the information you're asking about, or what further questions you hope to gain insight on by posting here.


You will need the correct size fittings for the size line / hose you are using, and they need the correct threads to attach to your:

-Master cylinder outlets
-T-fittings to split from one master cylinder circuit to the two front, and two rear wheels
-Caliper inlets

The thread fittings are usually published in the spec sheets for the master cylinders and calipers you intend to use, and are fairly standardized. They will usually either be AN 'dash' fittings, usually AN -3, or -4, or U.S. 'NPT' fittings. NPT means 'National Pipe Thread' and are tapered threads.

If you use industry standard calipers from a motorcycle or small car they will sometimes be straight-threaded (not tapered) fittings with copper sealing washers, either with a banjo fitting, or a hose that threads directly into the caliper. They can be easily measured.
