I've finished tearing out the rusted-out brake lines on my "71 142E (Girling calipers on all four corners) and am about to order replacement stuff The lines are, of course 3/16"OD, but the flare nuts, due to their corroded state, are leaving me with some doubts

The males have 7/16" or 11mm hexes on them, and the threads appear to be 24 UNF. The females because of the rust and vice-grip damage are more difficult to measure, but the hexes appear to be 12mm, with the same 24 UNF thread. The barrels seem to mike to about 3/8". Does that sound right?

I plan to get what I need from http://www.fedhillusa.com/, but I'm having difficulties picking the correct flare nuts from the selection they offer. Any help in that regard will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob S.
