Those are not metric threads, at least not by intent. I believe they are
either Whitworth or British Pipe Thread. In either case, use the original
nut & bubble flare the line. An A & N flare will not fit any brake fitting I
know of on a British car. Why did you start with the A & N?

More headaches. Trying to replumb the brake lines with stainless tubing.
The
crazy Brits used a metric thread in the master cylinder, so I have to use an
adapter fitting to go to an AN flare. By the time I put the adapter on, the
brake line will not fit between the body and cylinder.
Has anyone replaced their master cylinder? I've looked at the aftermarket
cylinders, but their mounting flange is vertical. Other problem is the
brake
booster. Most cylinders i've seen have the rod attached to the cylinder,
not
separate like in the B.
I remember someone converting to a dual cylinder, but I can't find the site.
Any ideas?
