Converting from metric to SAE?

[jfeagins]

Most yamaha banjo bolts are M10 x 1.25

The M10x1.25 banjo bolt brake switch I just put on my 09's clutch remote cylinder requires a 14mm wrench to install.

I don't try to re-invent the wheel. If the part is metric is stays metric and vice versa on SAE.

I'm the same....I keep the bikes metric, and I have a 66 Dodge Coronet, and its all SAE.

I remember that I got a M10 and M12 nut but none fit the banjo bolt that was holding the line to the slave cylinder.

Chances are you had the wrong M10 nut.
M10 x 1.5 is coarse thread and my guess as to what you had on hand.
M10 x 1.25 is fine thread and what is needed to fit the banjo bolts

Fine thread is less common than coarse.

Yeah, tried to get some stainless M10 x 1.25 Nyloc nuts at the nut and bolt store, then Amazon. No dice. Amazon has lots of M8 x 1.25 and lots of M10 x 1.5, but no M10 x 1.25!

Looks like they are only available on eBay from across the pond.

One of the reasons for my original post about converting

Standard pitch for M10 is 1.5 fine is 1.25 and very fine is 1.0. Usuallly the the fine pitch for a size is the standard pitch of the size below. M10x1.25 and M8x1.25

I did a quick check o f McMaster-Carr and was surprised I could not find a M10 .125 nylock nut in SS
