Do I need a washer for the 197mc on 182? (m12 to m10 converter)

I would have thought the adaptor would seat into the bottom of the M12 hole like the original brake line. Did the adaptor have a taper on the m12 male end and does the M10 female have a taper at the bottom for the brake line flare to seat into? - something like the attached. If so you should be fine.

Thanks mate. male end is not tapered, though female end is
Now I can do the adapter up pretty tight though and it wont budge, but Im just paranoid that it will either come loose or bugger up the inside of the mc if done up to much
I dont like to do these things on the car without having complete belief in what im doing, even if its silly things

Unless it is going to seal at the bottom it won't matter how tight it is - hard to tell without seeing it. You could try a washer but the application is not strictly designed for it. You may need to shorten the adaptor to make sure the washer is sandwiched enough (obviously needs to be some sort of squash/seal washer). Good luck.

You know after looking again I think there is, just really minute. Ive been delaying fitting this for ages now, first if never arrived then ordered from another comp, then bought the adapter and blanking bolts (for bleed) each week something new instead of just getting it done straight away. Just gonna put it on tomorrow and see from there, im just overly cautious, dont really want to die :grimacing:

In that case as long as the taper is working before it bottoms out you'll probably be ok. I normally use sealant on tapered threads and find they degrade if you remove/refit too many times.

Have swapped it over and bled the system, I bench bled the mc before hand. Theres no pressure when engine on now, but when i brake theres like this small surging clunking feeling going on. Cars up on stands and the brakes do stop, but zero pressure and the clunking
I guess theres just loads of air in the system? Or could it be something else?

Bled 2 litres through just now with pressure bleeder and with engine on. Maybe 10% firmer when engine off. When on if i brake slowly it's smooth, faster it's notchy. Abs and esp lights are now on. I take it there's air in abs pump, but if i keep pressure bleeding with engine on will it help? It can't be driven so cant fire up the abs. Just had a knee steroid injection so crawling around on the floor isn't the best idea
I think the doctor gave me the wrong steroids because ive just gone out to my car and ripped the whole abs unit out with my bare hands and beaten it to a pulp like a gorilla. Needless to say Im just gonna get a 4 port 197mc and full braided lines setup now, something Ive had in mind anyway. This bleeding is just a waste of time and money and could be done with zero hassle without the abs pump
