Brake fittings

PostPost by: handi_andi » Sat Aug 22, 2009 10:16 pm

Hiya all
Quick question, are the brake line fittings metric or UNF on a 1972 plus 2? Just trying to order some bits and pieces to change out my old steel and corroded lines.
Cheers

UNF

3/16" tubing with 3/8" - 24 UNF threaded swivel nuts for most of it. If you have the tandem master cylinder & differential valve (mine does), it has some 7/16" - 20 UNF swivel nuts. Tubing uses a combination of double flares and bubble flares.

Thanks Stu. New brake fittings have been ordered so that I can change out the front lines whilst the engine is out as they are corroded.
