Austin Healey 100-4 brake line fittings

[Vineyarder]

Discovered a front line leaking and thought I would just replace the one line for the time. somewhere there was a post about a brake line adapter fitting to convert a bubble flair connection to a standard SAE brake line This was a NAPA item but have seen them elsewhere though I have yet to find the specs for the original pipe fittings on my 55 and don't want to go through the guessing game. Anyone out their have the specs on the pipe line fittings that are stock for the 55 Healey 100? Thanks

Is it the master cylinder line? If so, I have an extra you can have. I'm not going to use it.

Is it a pipe or flex line?

I thought the only bubble flares were on the servo.

You can buy individual lines from Healey Surgeons.

Believe it is from junction to left wheel but will check again when the weather clears. Much appreciated. Thanks Don

Finally checked today and I need line to front left wheel thanks for the offer.

Isnt the bubble flair just half of a standard double flair?

So all the books I have leave me nothing when it comes to brake line fittings. Went to NAPA to see if I could get the correct line then find out it wasn't and could do damage to my junction block. Decided to make my own with cunifer but want to keep the old fittings for future reference. looking around the net for the correct pipe routing and the correct thread for connectors and can't seem to find any info, thread count, etc. So far all I know is that I need a thread with a non threaded lead. napa didn't know that. Any help here would be great as at this point the old Healey is parked

Suggest you call or visit the Federal Hill Trading Co. of Oxford, MA - they have all the proper British brake line fittings.
Their site has great pix of all the fittings you need.

Thanks for the info on the FedHill site, great stuff. Maybe I can now toss my collection of brake line fittings that I have collected over the years.
