    Can anyone tell me what size line and thread pitch I would need to use a union to connect the two lines at the booster together? I take it they are standard British bubble flares, but they are asking for line DIA. and thread pitch.

    Thank You.

    I don't have the answer for you--In fact, I recognize almost nothing from your picture--but using this resource, you can probably get it figured out:

    Oh wait--I just had another look. I recognize the front drive shaft and the steering gearbox arm.

    Thank you, on a footnote, I have always had "problems" when bleeding the brakes. I found (as suggested many times), be sure all 4 brake shoes are adjusted correctly. Rover issued a bulletin years ago, jack the wheel, have a person hold brakes down solid, then adjust the snails as far as they go. Release brakes, ( drum will still be unable to move), then back off the snails carefully till wheel is free ( I allow for a very slight drag).They say it lines up shoes and puts least force on the snail adjusters. It solved my soft brake, ( long travel). THEN bleed the brakes as usuall.
