Plumbing a custom racing brake system often presents a frustrating clearance problem: when threading a standard 90-degree adapter into the back of a brake caliper, the body of the fitting frequently bottoms out against the caliper housing or bleeder screw before it can fully seal. The Longacre 45220 Long Leg Caliper Fitting is the purpose-built workaround designed to save fabricators time and headaches.
Featuring an extended 1/8" NPT threaded leg, this adapter provides the crucial extra standoff distance required to clear bulky aftermarket calipers (like Wilwood, AFCO, or Howe) and tight suspension brackets.
Key Features
-
Extended "Long Leg" Design: Engineered with an elongated 1/8" NPT neck that drops the 90-degree bend further away from the fluid port, ensuring the fitting clears the caliper body during installation.
-
Precision 90-Degree Routing: The right-angle bend allows brake lines to be routed parallel to the suspension components, preventing dangerous snags from track debris or wheel-rub during full steering lock.
-
-4 AN Compatibility: Features a standard male -4 AN flare on the hose side, making it perfectly compatible with the heavy-duty braided stainless steel brake lines commonly used in dirt late models and sprint cars.
-
High-Pressure Construction: Machined to exact tolerances to handle the extreme hydraulic line pressures generated during heavy, repeated race-pace braking without leaking or weeping fluid.
