hi,
I'm trying to replace the OEM rubber brake line on my 2V K100 with a new custom built braided line. Since I'm doing this through emails and pictures, there is a communication problem with the supplier and they are asking questions that requires me to answer in precise terms.
I'm specifying the following:
A 10mm banjo bolt at the calliper end and a straight 10mm female (compression??) fitting on the master cylinder end. The banjo fitting should angle at 135 degrees. The resulting line should be 37cm from the centre of the banjo fitting to the end of the straight fitting.
The completed line should appear similar to the one pictured in the right hand photo below:

I want to be able to specify the correct fittings and need validation from others here who are more knowledgeable than I with the terminology. I don't want to get the specification wrong, resulting in an incorrect brake line.
