I posted this up on the drag racing forum but, so far, no one has the answer. I am going to install a line lock into my 59 project. The brake system is from a C4 and has all metric fittings. All the line locks that I have found have 1/8 NPT fittings and all the line lock installation kits that I have found are for inverted flare fittings. Does anyone know of a source for brake fittings that allows you to adapt a male metric bubble flare brake fitting into to 1/8 pipe thread? The metric end is M10 x 1.0. I guess I can re-flare the lines, but I'd rather not.
Thanks,
Charles

Find an auto parts store with a 'Weatherhead' catalog. Weatherhead makes tubing fittings and adapters for just about any combination...spend some time digging thru the catalog and you'll probably find what you need.

Hi,

I have done this before but had to make up (drill/tap) my own adapter block. My application was 8mm (if I remember right) on one side and 1/8 on the other end.

I have fittings for female bubble to male pipe on my 60,but Im not sure on the other way around. I know we put a line lock on my kids 95 S10 that had all bubble ends. Should not be hard to find. The Chain stores are not that good for fittings. Try a real parts store. If you can't find them email me a list of what you need and I will check my supplier and send them to you if they have what you want. Brian G.

Speedway has metric to AN adapters if they will help.

Just remembered that Pegasus has those adapters, too:

Thanks for the replies.

Don: I checked the Pegasus web site and could find only a M10x1.0 male to 1/8" NPT female adaptor for applications like pressure gauge fittings. Could not find any for brake fittings in the size I need. If you know a Pegasus part number for what I need, let me know.

Brian: I sent you an email.

Charles,

Try Cartek. I'm pretty sure that fitting you need came with the line-lock kit for my C5. Ask for Dave, maybe he can send you one or at least steer you in the right direction.
