Year Of Car 1992
I have looked for this info and found others..but Im looking for the front fittings sizes. to the/from the proportioning Valve out to the front brakes... 30 years ago when I did my Line lock. I just cut the ends off the 2 front brake lines. turned then in to simple flairs and installed them in the the line lock..(coming out of )the line lock and going to the front brakes..easy peazzy.. anyway.. I have a brand new SS brake line kit from Classic Tube. and would like to see I could just get the fittings to run the lines right into the line lock ..with out redoing any flairs...they should make them By Now..right..Looking for the brass fittings to go from the Hurst Line Lock to 92 Camaro front brake lines..or the brake line fitting size..Thank you
Jeff
just don't want to use my old brake lines. And don't want to mess with the new line..
the cars going back together!

I just went through this exact exercise and here are the sizes. Special nod to Qwk for confirming for me.
* M12-1.0 - Both lengths between master cylinder and prop valve * M14-1.5 - Outlet of prop valve to rear brake line (rear fitting is an M12-10) * M12-1.0 - Aft fitting of rear brake line to axle hose (on rear driver side aft of the fuel filter).
do they make a adapter/brass fitting to install the factory lines into the Line Lock.. the 2 front brake lines out of the Prop Valve? do ya know?
(front brake line Fitting size)? M12-1.0 ?
Im thinking the front brake line fittings from the prop Valve is M11-1.5
I dont know..lol thats why Im asking..only getting 3 to 4 hrs of sleep every 2 to 3 days tryn to get the car done..

Yes they do. Earl's sells adapters as well as Dorman and a bunch of others. However, I could not find an adapter for the 14 mm rear line fitting. What are you trying to connect? Stock prop valve to newer master?
Im working with the stock brake lines.. coming out of a line lock ..what are the front Brake Line nut size..from prop Valve to front .. the front brake line has 2 diff size of nuts on the lines front wheel brakes lines
1 size hooks to the rubber brake line at the caliper 1 size screws into the Porp Valve under the master cylinder.. looking for the size of Nut at the end of line going into the Porp Valve
this Pic shows my line lock set up. Its behind the prop Valve.. with 1 front brake line going into it and 2 lines coming out of it.. I would like to Keep the New likes stock.. without cutting the bubble flairs off and doing a double flair.. like it did in this pic 30 years ago.. I would like to Buy the adapters to plug the line into the Line lock and not cut the lines to make new fittings.

You might need to use multiple adapters. There are plenty of metric to 3an fittings, and then 3an to NPT.
cant even fined a M10-1.5 Nut to put on a 3/16 line.. if I could dig up 2 ..I would make some lines.. dont want to cut tubes just to get the nuts...

So I need an adapter 1/8 NPT male to M10-1.5 Female that's what I'm looking for
You're not going to find an adapter that goes to metric bubble flare. You'll have to do inverted flare.
I desperately tried to find one when I was doing brake lines for my car. Even called SJM Manufacturing and spoke to the engineer/owner and he said it's not sold off the shelf but they'll make you a production run with a minimum order quantity.

thats what it looks like its what I did 30 years ago..was hoping after all the years somebody would.. they do make and sell a 1/8npt male to a m10-1.0 female $6.99 ea.. lol
Do you have a thread pitch gage? Not doubting you at all, god knows I struggled with mine, but all my front fittings were M10x1. Maybe a quick call to SS tube?

Be really careful when buying adapters. There is an Asian M10 fitting that will leak if you try to use it with the ISO bubble flare. All the M10 adapters I found years ago were Asian style but they didn't spell it out really well. Had to cross-check part numbers and documentation to manufacturer. I think maybe you can visually identify it by the the fitting being fully threaded.
And a single flare AN fitting should not be used with steel tube. Must use cunifer (seamless) brake line with single flare AN.
$run about $17.00 for 2 shipped.. now if I can get the tube nuts for the brake hose end .. ill order them 4 fittings. and make a set of lines..with the copper nickel line to the front end...
we have a place call the House of Hose.. see what they have in the AM.
