Gotcha, I don't have any of those stainless fittings here to measure..Most of what I do is SAE. They are cheap enough I would just order them and check them with your actual parts. Based on your 4mm stick out I'm betting they will work. You were...

I don't have any of these fittings if that's what you are looking for.. https://www.thestopshop.com/collections/brake-line-fittings-armor-unions-tees-etc/products/fk16

🐖👈 dis 1 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Okay I'm not nearly as organized as you are and my brake fitting drawer is a pile of random brake fittings. Point to the one that you would like me to measure and I will get you a dimension.

Are you the new front man for Toyotamatt's operation?

I'll try to remember later today to take a look, the important part for you is to measure the amount of thread on one of your existing fittings that sticks out past the caliper or wheel cylinder and note that, we really only care about the amount...

Like your guy says on his front page spec is .028” with a max of .031” wall thickness and it's harder than you think to get tubing that's in spec. Also looks like a great place to buy from!

http://www.fedhillusa.com/ This is where I bought all my lines and fittings.

Stainless to stainless yes if you don't address it with something beforehand like a never-seez or lubricant, stainless to cast steel or brass like you'll be doing I would prefer the stainless over all my other choices.. Most of what I do is...

It was a productive weekend in the shop. I have the cab 99% stripped. I’m preparing to start the metal work on the cab.

Lastly, I sent them my original instrument surround and instruments as well as a spare surround. I asked them to restore the spare surround if they could as my original one is in great shape. So if anyone needs a very good surround reach out...

Found a big box on the doorstep this afternoon. Had no idea they were shipping. Very pleased with the work that Just Dashes did.

Naked Pig 😘. Good 🍺

There are certainly a lot of differences between the Beetle and the Jetta/Golf, but those are primarily body and electrical differences. If you already have a wiring harness and ECU for that year the engine itself will work just fine. A few of...

Not out of the Club 😉. My point exactly in my post. It was a simple question to help others that turned to 💩 because of 1 individual. For Crying out loud, we were just trying to help others with common sense! Not the Encyclopedia, ASTM standard...

lol That's what I was asking for. I obviously read that post but I think my comprehension took a nosedive when I dwelled a bit too long on the straightener.

In my limited experience, the first thing any decent machine shop does is check for cracks. They don't want to waste their time either...

Take a look at post #1,242 in you're build thread and let me know if that's what you're looking for, if not I'm happy to help any way I can.

And I'm sorry for my part in this, I was trying to stay on topic but ... Yeah that didn't work out..

I realize I'm out of this club now that my former Pig resides with Mr. and Mrs. @greenbeast in OK. But is anyone else more than a little tired of this tit-for-tat back and forth one-upmanship that seems to have devolved into something other than...

And I addressed that. If by referring to you as an angry EX was name calling then please accept my apology.. But I need to ask,, Are you a red head by chance?

I’m guessing by now you looked it up PRE-1991 “SAPH45 Special Alloy” is POST-1991 “SAPH440 Special Alloy” The standard “Steel Automotive Press Hot” standard looks to have went to three digits and yield strength minimum in MPa still applies but...
