Ok, I'm about to strangle somebody. The fittings on 2 different peices of brakeline don't fit on my car. The first was from Brian ( thanks man) and it fit into the wheel cylinder just fine but not the T on the rear end. Ok, I cna deal with that. I went to NAPA and they got me another peice, cut and flared for me and they assured me that the fittings on it will work. Guess what, they don't!:beatyoass: So I need ot know so I can put my own fittings on ew line, what are the sizes for both ends. The wheel cylinder fitting size and the T junction side. Any help would be nice guys. Thanks ahead of time.
Due to new found knowlage, I need about 2 feet of 3/16" line with 2 3/16" fittings. Of both sets of line I had,each had different size fittings on them, thats why they didn't fit
Where is the cheapest place to get this shiznit and how much fluid will it take to bleed the brakes?
I think brake line costs about the same no matter where...
I'm not sure how you got line with two different size fittings unless you were getting line with a standard flare on one end and a metric bubble flare on the other end.
I guess. All I know is that one end fits in both holes, the other in neither. The line I bought from napa was too short so it's going back tomorow. THe first line was a peice from Ifixyawata. Ask him
If You have a flairing tool, the best is purchase a 25feet of 3/16 line, and the fitting will fit on the hose block on Your housing and in Your brake cylinders and make Your own, I always owned My lines, and I'll never have any problem's...
Okay, I have a lot of 3/16 and 1/8 fittings here in My garage, but it's cheap and never lost or sit for long time in Your garage...
:dunce:
I take that back. The wheel cylinder is one size while the junction is slightly bigger. How can something so simple be so god complicated?
Get a small adapter from Napa maybe? That's what I did. I woulda given you my extra if I coulda found it.
It was a bigger adapeter actually. a 3/16" to 5/16". Problem solved and rant over now
This is not a strangling case, unless You're a serial killer kid! ;)
My Ford Econoline 1980 have the same thing, small on the cylinders and bigger on the block adapter on the housing, I putted the right adapter on the tube before flaring...
Make this on the end of january 2006, the brake oil is very cold at this temp...:cool:
If You have a problem with Your exhaust, You will probably kill Your entire family heheeh!!!:grinno:
Take a breath or twice, and retry, it's generally a success story!!!
Ford seems to like doing that, I know on the TC's they ran a 3/16" line from the master cylinder to the prop valve...but it was a metric bubble flare on one end, and the other end had like a 5/16" fitting on it. Stupid.
Well problem fixed and now I'm in a good mood. I had to take a party at work tonight and got left a $63 tip.
