brake line fitting different size on new master cylinder

Post by dolinick »

Did I get the wrong master cylinder or do I just need an adapter? The rear brake line fits but the threads on the front of the master cylinder are larger?

Sometimes, you need fittings like Fordman has for sale: http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... 11&t=57641
