I need to order some flare nuts for my 3/16 brake lines

Anyone know the details (thread pitch, etc). Setting up a 7/8 m/c and all fittings are the same type(m/c, 3 way splitter, flexi brake lines, etc..)
Just need to know the size

Just buy some vernier calipers and measure for yourself.
From memory there are a couple different sizes of threads pending if its a local master cyl or import etc...
Most are something like 10x1mm...

I'm away for work. Otherwise I'd just get them from the local brake shop.

It's a jap spec 7/8 m/c from datsport.

I did have the time to check that all the brake nuts I need are the same thread, thought some one might know off the top of their head.

10x1mm, long nuts are best.

Make sure you get a good quality spanner for brake lines too. If it slops around you round off the nut trying to undo them!
