Brake line fittings

Anyone know where to get the fittings that go on the brake lines that are bigger thread outside dia. with a smaller inside dia.? I hope that made sense to people. I am replacing brake lines and am tired of reusing the old fittings that are different size than what comes on the new tubing. I know I have seen them somewhere but can't remember where. Thanks

I've always been able to go to the parts store and ask the guy at the counter for what I want. They usually have that metal cabinet full of drawers that have all the brass fittings in it. Give NAPA a try.

Re: Brake line fittings

I was able to get them at the local Autozone, but it took a couple tries to get it right. NAPA would be a better choice if there's one close by you.

Front hardlines are 3/16" with either 3/8-24 nuts, or 10mm x .875 depending on the model year. Post- '85 gets sketchy, and could be either size, or even have both sizes on the same truck.

Rear lines are 1/4", but I wasn't able to source the correct flare nuts on short notice and had to re-use the old ones.
