Brake lines fitting size
« on: June 08, 2023, 20:13:50 »
Does anyone know the thread size designation for the fittings (line and bleed) in the brake calipers for 1968 280sl?  I am rebuild and need to pump out old pistons and need to adapt to caliper female fitting port.

Hi,
is not necessary to build an adapter for it, it is enough to seal the port a little and press very carefully.
But be careful because the pistons shoot out like cannonballs.
