Good thing the wheel cylinders were the same size on Bendix and Wagner brakes for the American! Bendix used to use a large flare nut with a small line to prevent mixing the front and rear brake lines on the master cylinder in the early 60s. I guess by 67 they had discontinued that practice since you mention the lines fit Bendix or Wagner MCs. You can use ordinary brass reducers in the master cylinder ports, which are always(?) larger than normal-sized 1/8" flare nuts that come with pre-flared stock tubing lengths. There's no downside to using the adapters other than aesthetics. I think I mentioned it before, but the exact-replacement master cylinder for a 63 American is about $220; a new (not rebuilt) replacement for a 64 American is $30, and the only detectable difference is the output port size. Two $2 adapters and I put flared tubing from NAPA in it. _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
