Frequently asked questions

What is the CRC1487 brake union nut used for on a Land Rover?

The CRC1487 is a metric-thread union nut for hydraulic brake pipe connections throughout the braking system. It seals and secures brake pipe joints at unions in both front and rear circuits. The metric thread applies from July 1980 on Series III, and to all Defender, relevant Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic brake systems.

What is the difference between a metric and imperial brake union nut on a Land Rover?

Land Rover switched from imperial (UNF) to metric brake pipe threads on the Series III from July 1980. The CRC1487 is the metric version. If your vehicle predates this change, an imperial nut is needed; using the wrong thread risks cross-threading and brake fluid leaks at the union.

Does the CRC1487 brake union nut fit ABS and non-ABS Defender models?

Yes, the CRC1487 fits all Defender brake systems from 1987 to 2016, both ABS and non-ABS, front and rear circuits. For the Range Rover Classic, it is limited to LHD 4-wheel ABS models to VIN HA610293. For Discovery 1, it covers front brakes to VIN LA081991.
