Where can I get the cone style ferrules for brakes

gads..just about anywhere..NAPA, hardware stores,,,and auto parts stores

gw

Can get barrell style anywhere.who has cone type?

Order them from Reikens Racing. they are .80 each. Napa charges a fortune. I usually get a dozen at a time.

Found some thanks

Steve C, which type were you looking for?  The "barrel" type - 



or the "hat" type -

That hat type with the nut that has a flat bottom is highly recommended for brakes.  Buy your brake line from a supplier like Comet, there's some Chinese junk around that is no good .

Looking for hat style reikens and comet thanks

Eaton long nut PN 1611X3 (for 3/16 nylon tube)
Eaton sleeve PN 601X3 " " " "
The olive ferrules are for copper tube.
NAPA carries Eaton fittings.

heres pix of the two types they are NOT interchangable.

this is the type i prefer.
