Bore is usually -3. Why not buy a set? They'll be correct for the application and are not that expensive. I bought a set of Aeroquip lines from Miles Wilkins and no issues fitting. 8)

Hi

The thread on the connections is 3/8" UNF. It would probably be cheaper the by a set of braided lines. I did and had no problems whatsoever.

Regards
