Jim,

I found on the NAPA site that it is a metric M10 x 1.  I'm going to
plumb with aluminum hard lines from the master cylinders back, so I need
to go from the M10x1 to an AN 3/16" fitting.  I'm shaking my head
thinking that finding such a piece won't be easy, if it is possible at
all.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I spoke with Duane about the fitting.  He said they have been using 1/8"
brass fittings for the longest time and they have worked well.  The
factory uses the liquid Teflon sealant with it.  Duane swears he has
done 25 planes this way and it works well.  He said it wasn't until
years later that someone pointed out that it was a metric fitting.  Hard
to argue with empirical evidence, but it would feel a bit better if the
correct fitting could be used.

Again, any ideas would be appreciated.

BTW, I'm posting new pictures today.

Best,

Andy

Andy,

It is a metric flare fitting.  a standard fitting will not work.

I don't know the fitting number since I used a metric to standard 1/4"
pipe banjo fitting. (very hard to find)
