Keith Browning Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Having trouble finding a flare plug that is 12mmX1.00 - male flare like the fitting shown below. Starting to think this does not exist. Anyone have any good sources? Since this is a brake application it seems it would be best if this port was sealed at the flare and not with the threads or is that acceptable? Brakes, makes me a little paranoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I'm not that versed in welding, but could you get a typical line fitting filled up by welding it? Thus making a plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I got a buddy who may be able to get it. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8WA Sman Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I pretty sure I have gotten mm to standard adapters before. I also seem to remember getting an adapter once that I refushed to use, I don't remember if they sent a different adapter or I used a diffent method.

Keith Browning Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 I got a buddy who may be able to get it. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? I want to PLUG the top port of the brake valve pictured above. Even a bleeder would work but I can only find one of those in 10mmX1.00 which id close but no cigar. There are plenty of adapters out there with thins thread size but then I still have to deal with whatever I adapt to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy_M Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Dorman 327857.1 adapter combined with a standard 3/16 inverted brake line plug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 I found a M12X1.0 brake bleed plug... website is in Polish (.pl). That would work really well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 My guy didn't find anything. My suggestion would be to adapt it to standard 3/16 line thread and then plug it. The tiny bit of air that gets trapped should have no effect on the pedal. Plus it will eventually work it's way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 I am sorry fellas - That is what I ended up doing. First of all, an M12x1 anything related to fittings is uncommon and adding that it is a bubble flare even more so. There are the adapters, which change it to a 3/8 flare fitting and a few other things. I chose the 3/8 plug. I suggested filling the plug with brake fluid and maybe that will stay in there statically but I am not holding my breath. We can crack the plug to purge most of the air.
