Brake line fitting adapters - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bought a new master cylinder from CPP which accepts 3/8" brake line fittings. The hardlines I got from LMC are 7/16" front and 9/16" rear. Are there fitting adapters that can get me from the larger diameter fittings to 3/8"?

Yes, what they said. I do recommend going to a 'real' parts store for help with fittings. A lot of the major retail stores don't know the difference in thread sizes and types.

Tell me about it, I was about ready to finish hooking everything up and bleed the brakes and ran into this. Now I'm busy searching out adapters. Thanks for all the help!

Why not get the right 3/8 size thread to fit your hardlines and reflare them? thats what I did I think from autozone
