flexible brake lines

[street]

My plus 2 was rebuilt 89/90. What thread do you think was the most probable at that time for the rear flexi's to hard lines as i need to replace.

SJ050J0005 - BRAKE HOSE SJ sports car lotus parts number, description does not have thread reference. As im In NZ, need to obviously get it right as most of the spares market here is American.

thanks

On my 72 Plus2 all fittings are 3/8"-24.

Street,

3/8”x24 tpi (3/8”UNF) and 10mm x 1mm pitch are very similar, both are used in braking systems, I have seen these two systems mixed up. Measure carefully and use thread gauges to check the pitch.
