Adapters to fit Front to Rear brake line...
Does anyone know where I can find adapters to fit on my '83 solid line.
The line is std thread, inverted flare... I need to hook up to the newer metric bubble flares.
Adapters need to be Metric male to std female
14mm to 1/2"
12mm to 7/16"

No such thing made that I know of.
WHen I did what you're doing, I used a ¼" flare union, and a short section of 6mm line with a bubble flare with the right nut on it... cut the last few " of my ¼" line off and put a ¼" flare on the 6mm line.

option 2 would be to go to a machinist and have them make you a custom fitting, but thats not going to be cheap

If/when you go to buy the tool to make the flare, spend the cash for a good one...none of that harbor freight/ebay junk. I bought a cheapy from ebay and it clamped the tube at an angle and the other cheapy I bought didn't last very long.

Hey John-
I will call, but I meant it. I put those #s in Google, and it took me straight to Jegs and the parts.... very cool.
