Disk brake woes: Formula CR1 hose fittings

[Mikey08]

Hi all.

I got some secondhand Formula CR1 brakes and the rear hose is too long. Ordered a hose shortening kit which comes with barbs olives and compression nuts/ferrules. However the compression nuts have the wrong thread pitch and Im struggling to find the ones I need. It seems some formula brake levers take a M8 x 0.75 nut and some use a M8 x 1mm nut. Its the latter that I need. Does anyone have anything like this in the parts bin or know where I can get them?

Cheers

Hi, did you ever solve this issue, as I am now in the same boat!!?

No sorry, I sold them. Maybe use nuts from another brand as long as the thread pitch is correct?

Shimano BH90 fittings suit 5mm hose (same as Formula) but no idea what thread they use.
