Volare dropped spindles

Thanks to everyones post on the recent thread regarding Fatmans dropped spindles, I have almost completed the swap. I have two questions, one of the spindles has threads that need to be chased, I believe they are 3/4 fine thread, can anyone confirm that? Also I will need to redo the brake lines and noticed Sam and Charlie have used braided ss, any time saving tips as to fittings? Joe

I bought line with the desired fittings already installed and the chassis side were standard type fittings.

search for "STAINLESS STEEL BRAIDED BRAKE HOSE KIT" on ebay.

this one is like what I used..
