Thanks

Jim,
They are 7/16 UNC (which is 20tpi).
Regards
Peter Cole.

Brake line fittings

I've got to replace one of my brake lines and its been so long since I repiped the TA that I've forgotten the details of the fittings. Are the threads on the fittings that screw into the banjo behind the M/C British or were these standardized so that US fittings will work? I seem to remember buying standard 1/4" lines with fittings at the local auto store and screwing them right in...Are these fitting the same on all T cars?
Tnx

Hi Terry,
I think you will find the TA/TC used NF threads. Can't remember for sure,
but I think 7/16" NF for the banjo bolts and pipe end threads.
TD/TF are 3/8 " BSF threads.

You are right (as usual!). I got hold of an old TC line with fittings and they are 7/16 x 20. Here is a neat site for Cunifer pipe and fittings:
