Question Thread of the rear brake pipes

Hello @ all,

can anybody tell me the thread of the brake pipes? The main pipe from front to rear and the pipes on the axle...???
I must change the pipes and no one here in germany can tell me the thread.

Greetings from Germany

I am guess they are 1/8" straight pipe thread or 1/8 NPST which is the same thing in machinist terms. "National Pipe Straight thread" Now it may be larger then 1/8" but I think the metal lines are 1/8". Here we can just purchase brake line with threaded ends that are properly flared in lenths from under a foot to about 6'.

You can just buy extended lines. Just put them in the stock position and you will not have to modify any hard lines.

Guten tag from the U.S. I have German family members and my wife's family is German Her fathers last name is Ritterholz and her mothers madian name is Ringshauser and have retaliatives by the name of Osseforth that are still in Germany. AS for your question are you wanting to knpw the size of the nut that is on the brake line or the part it threads into? If it is the nut than it is 1/8"
