I'd like to make a proper brake line with the most correct path for my 08 Specialized Epic which will be using XTR disc brakes but the new brake line path is mostly annoying with calipers that use straight 0º fittings because of the brain fade reservoir.

Shimano straight fittings that connect the calipers are M8 screw but all aftermarket 90º fittings i see are made to be used with M6 banjo bolts.

Does anyone know where can i find a 90º fitting that uses a M8 banjo bolt and is compatible with Shimano/hel/goodrige hoses?

I dont think one exists.... Ive ran into this problem on that specific bike and set up and have spoken with shimano directly about it. Their suggestion was to use the previous gen calipers instead of the 08s.

Check places outside of the bike industry that deal with hydraulics. http://www.mcmaster.com/ would be a good place to start. I've only ever seen fittings in imperial units, but you might get lucky.
