Sprite brake lines

[Kuz]

68 model,I am redoing the hard lines from the mater cylinder to the "switch". One of the lines has one different size fitting on it. All the 3/16 lines available local have the 3/8 fitting on both ends. Without buying a whole set of new lines( I already have one installed) what are my choices?

A different size--strange? By an adapter to step up the thread size that you need.

Master to the union is a 1/4" pipe, the rest are 3/16.
I know the fittings are different too, maybe 7/16 thread.
I am not sure about the thread size.

There you go. I know it stinks, but you have to replace the line.

Actually all are 3/16th on both the 68 sprites I have, but one has a 3/8 fitting on one end and a 7/16th on the other end. Buying the line isn't an issue, but I don't intend to buy the complete set ,since all the rest are in. So Barry where would I find the line or an adapter?

 

[healeyboz]

The only place that I have been able to find them is at Autozone. They have a drawer behind the counter with fittings in it.

p.s. look for a guy that is willing to search through the bits.

It makes sense. The lines have to be the same io all the way back. I wonder why one is a different thread. You might want to wait and see what others have done or if they have an online source. The Bugeye union has all of the same diameter in that union.
