Hi,

Can someone tell what the metal brake line diameter is and the thread size for the nuts on the brake lines.
Thanks.

Generally speaking, 3/16 line with 7/16 fittings are found on Ford trucks except at the master cyl. where the fittings are a difference size.

The nuts are 7/16. I measured a spare line I had left over from my brake job.
