Note however, that they don't mention an important distinction between old
British fittings and American fittings. Many old British fittings require a
blank "lead" at the end of the nut, where there are no threads; similar to
the A15-3 and A16-3 nuts shown in Fedhill's catalog. However, I don't see
any 3/8-24 nuts in their catalog with that lead; and I know from experience
that using nuts without the lead on the rear brake cylinders on a TR3A will
first leak, then break the cylinders when you try to tighten them until they
don't leak.
BTW, while later Triumphs did use the 45-degree "bubble" flare in some
places as mentioned, the TR3A was all double flare.
