[alfa] Re: alfa] hard brake lines

[Andy Kress <aokress@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Richard's advice is generally right on.  however, i believe the spider 
fittings are actually 3/8-24 thread.  i too thought they were 10mm, but 
after careful review on the playing field, turns out they are english?
perhaps left over from the Girling/Lucas days.  it is amazing that it will 
fit a 10mm thread though.
I;d say reuse the old ones if they are OK.  3/16 (4mm) is what is on the 
car.  double flare for brake lines (single for AN - 3AN is the right size).
It is not hard to do, just takes patience.  Make sure you test all joints 
under pressure before you drive the car!
