i am building up some braided lines and would like to know what the angle of the pyramid shaped protrusion down inside the front caliper is please? basically the fittings are ten x 1.00mm threads but there are different angles avaialble depending on what that angle comeing back at you is, can anyone help please?
 
First the thread of the banjo bolt on an XS 650 caliper is 10 x 1.25mm
I have the parts in my workshop at the moment to test out so I took some photos. I fitted them to an XS 650 and them put different angled banjos on the caliper to see what worked.
A straight one fouls the caliper, the best fit has a slight angle up positive 28 degrees.
The ones shown are for AN3 braided line and wont get through a warrant of fitness in NZ if the testing station is on the ball.
I got them from

28 degrees positve
 
That will be why I couldn't quite grasp what he was asking and could explain the thread pitch difference.
