E36 ABS adapter fitting thread size

[turbosporttsi]

Hi all. I need to come up with a way to re-route some of my brake lines; the two problem children are MC-->ABS lines. I have a 4 channel ABS pump...does anyone know the thread size into the pump body? There are adapter fittings there from the factory to adapt to the M10x1.0 brake line fittings.

I don't have a spare pump handy to remove the fitting from and I have to pull the motor to remove the one on the car. Hoping some either has a spare ABS unit handy or knows the size of those fittings.

I think they're M14x1.5. I believe I have an ABS unit in my garage that I can check later.

That would be great; much appreciated!


Wih any luck, I can find a banjo-->AN adapter in that size.

Found my ABS pump and pulled one of the adapters off. They're M14x1.0.


Thread Pitch:



Width:






It's also worth noting that there is a plastic part of the ABS pump that protrudes inside the adapter fitting itself, that the fitting must clear. I took a picture trying to show the depth of the fitting (and measured it with the depth gauge)



Hope this helps some. If you do get it all figured out with AN fittings and braided lines, I'd love to see some pictures. Running all the hardlines + clutter is the main reason I deleted mine. I'd reconsider if I could do a braided setup.

I just bought some line from Fedhillusa.com and they lend you a nice flare press for two weeks free. RE-use your factory fittings.

VERY thorough and helpful; thank you.

I happen to have some M14 banjo - AN adapter fittings laying around, so I'll see what I can figure out.

I'm trying to get my lines away from my header primaries. Factory style fittings force the line to exit the pump body perpendicular, then a sweeping bend. Banjos allow a tight right angle, which should give me another 0.5 - 1" clearance. But thanks for the input.

Ok i see what youre trying to accomplish now. Very neat, will be a nice addition for future swappers!

i know this is an old thread, but does anyone have updates. Trying to get a fitting to work since my pump is relocated into a spot in a tight area, need a 90 degree right off of it perhaps.

I had a new line made with a tighter bend but it's still super close to the header, I am interested to know if the banjo fitting would work instead of having the 90 come off the abs unit!

If not my next plan is to move the ABS unit to the rear passenger side
