Brake Adapters & Caliper Brackets

Shop brake adapters, caliper brackets, AN fittings, banjo bolts, and conversion hardware for performance and custom brake systems. This focused collection includes vehicle-specific caliper mounting brackets and precisely sized line fittings from Wilwood, Kartboy, Torque Solution, and Fragola. Match every component by application, thread, flare, caliper, and rotor specification before ordering.

Brake Adapters for Big Brake and Custom Conversions

Brake adapters solve two different fitment problems. Caliper adapter brackets position a specific caliper over a specified rotor and mounting point, while hydraulic adapters connect brake lines, hoses, calipers, and master-cylinder components with different thread or flare standards. Neither type should be chosen by appearance alone: correct dimensions and application data are essential for safe braking-system operation.

Shop Caliper Adapter Brackets

Use a vehicle-specific bracket only with the caliper, rotor diameter, axle position, and chassis listed by the manufacturer. Current options include:

• Wilwood Forged Dynalite bracket for Honda/Acura with a 262 mm rotor
• Kartboy Subaru big brake adapters
• Torque Solution rear caliper adapter for Subaru Impreza, WRX, Legacy, Forester, BRZ, and Scion FR-S
• Torque Solution rear caliper adapter for Subaru Impreza, RS, WRX, Forester, and Legacy

Similar-looking brackets may use different offsets, mounting-hole spacing, or rotor requirements. Verify the complete product application rather than assuming that one Subaru, Honda, or Acura bracket fits every generation.

Shop Brake Line Adapters, AN Fittings, and Banjo Hardware

Hydraulic fittings must match the thread diameter, pitch, flare or sealing seat, and line size on both sides of the connection. Browse the available Fragola components:

• Fragola -3AN to 9/16-18 inverted-flare steel brake adapter
• Fragola -3AN to 10 x 1.0 bubble-flare adapter
• Fragola -3AN to 3/8-24 inverted-flare steel tubing adapter
• Fragola 10 mm x 1.0 steel banjo bolt

AN size does not directly equal ordinary thread diameter. Metric bubble flare, SAE inverted flare, and AN 37-degree flare connections use different sealing geometry and are not interchangeable simply because the threads appear to engage.

How to Choose the Correct Brake Adapter

Confirm all relevant specifications before purchase:

• Exact year, make, model, generation, and axle position
• Caliper model and mounting pattern
• Rotor diameter, thickness, offset, and hub application
• Thread standard, diameter, and pitch on both connections
• Flare or sealing style: AN 37-degree, bubble flare, inverted flare, or banjo
• Brake line or hose size, adapter material, and included hardware

For a custom conversion, identify every mating component before selecting an adapter. Never force mismatched threads or attempt to seal an incompatible flare with thread sealant.

Installation and Brake-System Safety

Brake components are safety-critical. Brackets must sit flat, use the correct fasteners, maintain proper caliper-to-rotor alignment, and provide adequate wheel clearance. Hydraulic connections must use the correct sealing surfaces, specified washers, and manufacturer torque values.

After installation, bleed the system using the procedure specified for the vehicle and caliper, inspect every connection for leakage, confirm firm pedal operation, and test braking at low speed in a controlled area. Professional installation is recommended whenever fitment, fabrication, line routing, or bleeding requirements are uncertain.

Brake Adapter FAQs

Are brake caliper adapter brackets universal?

No. Caliper brackets are normally designed around a specific chassis, axle, caliper, rotor diameter, and mounting geometry. Use only the exact application listed by the manufacturer.

How do I identify the correct brake line adapter?

Identify the thread diameter and pitch, the line or AN size, and the sealing style on both sides. A thread that starts successfully is not proof that the flare or seat is compatible.

Can a caliper bracket work with any rotor of the same diameter?

No. Rotor thickness, offset, hat dimensions, and hub position also determine caliper alignment. Follow the bracket manufacturer's complete rotor and caliper requirements.

Should banjo sealing washers be reused?

Use the sealing hardware specified by the component manufacturer. New crush washers are commonly required to create a reliable seal after a banjo connection has been disturbed.

Should brake adapter installation be handled professionally?

Professional installation is recommended when any specification, alignment, line routing, torque procedure, or bleeding step is uncertain. The system must be inspected and tested before normal driving.
