    Default Need Brake Line Expertise

    Fellow LR maniacs, I need help! I need to replace both the brake and clutch lines from the reservoir of my '66 IIa to their respective, brand new MCs. After much trial and error, I've discovered that this line (in both cases) needs to have a 7/16"-20 fitting (male and female). The lines that go from each MC out to their respective systems use 3/8" fittings which I have and are relatively easy to come by. I can't find any commercially available 7/16"-20 fittings. All the major auto parts suppliers carry 7/16"-24 but, I can't find what I need. Has anyone come across this before? Is anyone out there happening to be stockpiling these fittings?

    I've tried looking for adaptors and I think AGS makes one but, it seems to be "temporarily out of stock" everywhere I look.

    The 7/16-20 nuts and stuff are at the bottom of the page. Usually they have it to me in a couple days.

    Thanks. This looks like a good resource. Turns out, I found the adapter I needed. I begged a guy at Autozone to let me come behind the counter and pilfer through all of the various brakelines fittings they had. I found the last two they had. Got lucky.

    Thanks though.

    They sell very high quality merchandise and the prices are very reasonable. Doing my whole truck with cupro-nickel pipe and their fittings.
