Goodridge Brake Hydraulic Banjo Fitting

Goodridge Brake Hydraulic Banjo Fittings: Where Precision Meets Performance

When building or upgrading a hydraulic brake system, the fittings that connect your brake lines to calipers and master cylinders are every bit as critical as the hose itself. Goodridge has spent over five decades establishing itself as the gold standard in brake fluid transfer hardware — and their brake hydraulic banjo fittings are a direct reflection of that expertise.

A Legacy Built on Braking Innovation

Goodridge's reputation in the braking world is unmatched. Goodridge was the first company to produce braided stainless steel brake lines for automotive use and established them as the standard in motorsport around the world. That pioneering spirit extends directly into their banjo fitting lineup, where the same obsession with dimensional accuracy and material quality is on full display.

What Makes Goodridge Banjo Fittings Stand Out

Manufactured to exacting specifications to ensure an accurate fit, Goodridge banjo fittings are available in a choice of lengths, threads, and finishes to not only improve your brakes' reliability and safety but also to improve your bike's appearance. Whether you're routing lines on a stock machine or building a fully custom hydraulic system, the breadth of the Goodridge banjo fitting catalog ensures you have the right geometry for the job.

The lineup spans a wide range of configurations, including 20-degree, 45-degree, 70-degree, and 90-degree bend banjo fittings in both 3/8-inch and 7/16-inch bore sizes, available in stainless steel and chrome finishes. These fittings are available in two materials: zinc-plated carbon steel and stainless steel — giving builders the flexibility to match both functional requirements and aesthetic preferences.

AN-Style Engineering for Custom and Performance Builds

Goodridge banjo fittings are designed around the AN (Army-Navy) standard, a specification with deep roots in aerospace and military applications. The AN fittings utilize a standardized convention while using a special angled fitting to provide a secure seal for the fluids being passed through them. This standardization means Goodridge fittings integrate seamlessly with the broader ecosystem of Goodridge brake line components.

Goodridge's Build-A-Line banjo fittings feature black-coated construction with AN-3 ends for 3/8-inch bolts, and used with Goodridge universal brake lines, they can adapt to virtually any application — and they carry a lifetime guarantee.

Choosing the correct bend angle matters: depending on master cylinder location and brake caliper design, selecting the right angle ensures lines route cleanly without undue strain. Goodridge's comprehensive angle selection — straight, 20°, 35°, 45°, 70°, and 90° — means you can dial in the perfect routing geometry for virtually any build.

System-Level Thinking for Leak-Free Results

Every Goodridge brake line is individually 100% pressure tested and guaranteed to be leak-free, and Goodridge brake lines come with a lifetime guarantee. That same commitment to quality carries through to their banjo fittings, which are designed to work as part of an integrated system. The fittings are precision-engineered for a leak-free connection, providing long-lasting performance and reliability, and are corrosion-resistant and designed to withstand the rigors of daily riding.

Whether you're refreshing the brake plumbing on a custom chopper, upgrading a track bike, or sourcing OEM-replacement hardware, Goodridge brake hydraulic banjo fittings deliver the precision engineering and material integrity that a safety-critical component demands.
