Brake Lines
« on: March 09, 2023, 16:41:35 »
Hello.  While the rear end is out of my 66 230SL, I want to replace the old brake lines, including the one running front to rear under the car.  As I recall, these are bubble flared - correct?  And what size is the line itself, and the nut?  (I thought an earlier search said the nuts were M10-1.00?)

Thanks,
Harry

dirkbalter,

Crazy that the post you shared is one of my own!  I searched under "brake lines" before posting this AM.  What did you search under?  And thanks.)
