Default Thread size help. Who knows this one??

Does anyone here know what the thread sizes are for the two power steering lines where they attach to the rack?? I rounded one of the tube nuts pretty badly and want to cut the flare of and replace it. Does this use a regular 45 degree flare, or something special? I would like to have the proper new nut on hand before I tear into it. I don't want to open it all up to measure it...me lazy.

Muchas Gracias.

Come on guys...no one? I believe that they are both 3/8 tubes, but I know that the fitting sizes are different to discourage mixups...

Everybody.

Stop holding your breath.

I measured it for new AN pipe ends and they're 16mm x 1.5, and 18mm x 1.5. The rack comes out at least once a year for one reason or another, so the AN style seems the way to go.

As you were.
