Can anyone tell me what type fittings are used on the steel brake lines on the 4AD? What type of flare on the tubing? What is the thread on the fittings? Does anyone have a source for 5/32" compression ferrules for the manifold drain lines?

Mark,

As I recall I just used regular 3/16" steel tubing from auto parts store and they were regular US thread. Double inverted flare(standard US). I do supply the brake hoses for the front brakes. The master cylinder supply tube from the resivour is 1/4" and the line nuts for this need to be reused.
