Earls Dry Break Couplers, Anyone Used For Brakes?

[Luke_ENR34]

Just wondering if anyone has used the Earls Dry Brake Couplers for the connection between caliper and hard line? Opinions?

Just ordering my lines now and thinking using these might save rounding nuts/ time and money.

No dry brake connection is dry enough to use on brakes. They will all let some air into the lines. Probably also going to raise severe laughter from those who decide what is legal and what is not. Fancy disconnecting someone's brakes by just reaching in and giving a twisty-pull?

Break, not Brake. lol.

The page is under fuel system components.

I can't believe I made the same spelling mistake!

Yep, if your talking about the coupler.

Brake = the things that make your car slow down

Break = smash / destroy

So we're talking about break couplers on brake lines....

Not any more. We gave up on that and are now on to grammar and spelling.

Says in the description you can use for brakes, oil etc just have to choose the right part number.

It's for the time attack car so basically doesn't have to be road legal.

Well, just be aware that it would not be wise to disconnect and reconnect them without re-bleeding the brakes afterwards.

They work and they work very very well if your using the high end versions not the cheaper fragola ones.

There is no need to bleed brakes they have an air pocket chamber built into them that you can purge if need be but I've never had to do it.

We use them on brake lines, clutch lines, fuel lines on the super cars and extend the use to attessa lines etc on GTR's

Earls aus don't keep any of them in stock though as they are an extremely slow moving component.

If you place a decent order they may air freight them over.

Just what i wanted to hear Brad. Thanks for that.

Have you got a contact in the US you deal with as while the Dollar is pretty strong against the US i might get them along with all my Fuel system fittings.

Thanks

Summit normally stock the common size ones -6 &-8 they can get the larger ones easily enough.

However by the time you pay summits retail (or trade =retail -10%) then freight and taxes,for myself it works out cheaper to buy from earls aus and wait the 6days. So I rarely ever buy direct from summit.

Retail here is far more expensive though having the warranty and support is worth it

Unfortunately due to martin's (earls aus owner) agreement and franchise structure we can't buy direct from earls, Weldon or tilton despite the dollar.
