The newest problem is that my 3/16 line fitting are bigger than the threads on my master cylinder
Didnt think to check this while still at the parts store so HOW do I jump from the 1/2 thread (3/16 line) to 3/8 thread th master was made for
Has anybody plowed thru rhis problem before me
Really dont want to go back to th parts store again.

easiest/quickest would be to cut it off, add the right one & reflare it if you have a flaring tool with the double flare buttons.

or just use a reducer of the correct size. For a lot of cars back in the day, they came with reducers right off the factory line.
