Front line is 1/2-20 and rear is 9/16-18. Here's the spec sheet

diceman1530Check here
You may be able to reduce the master cylinder to 3/8 thread 3/16 line and use a 1/8 npt to 3/16 line fitting in line lock

Ron GusackThanks, I looked at plews-edelmann a few days ago and couldn't find something easy but I plan to call them. This shouldn't be this difficult because the manual drum brake master cylinder for a bunch of GM cars has a 9/16-18 thread for the front brakes so an adapter to 1/8 pipe should be a fairly common part. Thanks for your help.

EmanI've looked and couldn't find one. What size line are you using? I think if you're using 1/4" line you could use a smaller line nut on the side that goes to the line lock. Or, you can use an adapter on the MC to reduce the port size down to whatever size nut is on your line. As long as you can flare the line doesn't are what size nut is on it.

TomRSwing by Autofab. They have a bunch of adapters in the small bins (in case they don't remember where they are) Just have to go thru each one to see if they have what you need.

Yeah, I thought about doing that but I was hoping to not have to double flare the stainless steel line. I rarely have good results working with stainless.

Scott CreedSpeedway has a ton of different fittings, it's where I buy that stuff.

Ron GusackThe Plews Edelmann guy dialed me in by using 2 adapters to get me what I need and Summit has them.
I'm gonna look at speedway too, thanks.
