brake fitting help - 300zx bmc 90 degree fitting

monin'

i need some help finding a fitting for the 300z brake master cylinder.

i'm running a boost-designs manifold with a t3/t04e.. when trying to test fit the 300z BMC, i noticed that the brake lines would definately have some clearance issues. i'm already running a non-abs brake booster, so there's nowhere to go.

what i'm looking for is a 90 degree fitting, that would re-direct the brake lines straight down, instead of out towards the block. the fitting should be m10x1.00 male to female 90 degrees, inverted flare.

i tried searching, but no luck. if anyone could recommend a place that would carry this kind of fitting, i'd greatly appreciat it!!

I'm running the same setup as you: Z32 BMC with braided lines from BMC to caliper.

Earls' have the fittings.

It's not anything special. Just regular braided brake hoses with fittings on it.

you are running a boost-designs manifold though?

if you are, any problems with heat affecting the brakes?

No turbo. Chevy V8 with block hugger headers. Exhaust manifold is nowhere near the BMC.
