by dulcimerbob Thu Mar 06, 2014 4:54 pmWhat is the thread size for the brake line on the wheel cyl ? Mine are so rusty I need to get a tap and chase the threads so I can install the lines or would it be better just to replace the wheel cyl altogether . They're pretty cheap. Thanks

I would just replace them. If they are rusty, they will end up giving you trouble sooner or later

Replace them. You wont be able to chase the threads without special tools. Do a search. The part numbers are there and they are not that expensive. If you have rust on the outside you might have it in the system as well and rebuilding cylinders is a crap shoot anyway. The only part you can't get, new or rebuilt, is the dual master cylinder in the 67. Rebuild kits can be had, for it, but are hard to find. I try to keep a spare on hand because they might become unavailable. If you have rust you should change the brake lines. Brake failure in an early is a "white knuckle" experience with that big picture window and not much metal between you and the crash! Ask me how I know!
