Hello, I am replacing a section of the brake line's original equipment. It goes from near the driver's seat to the back rubber hose block. the line is 3/16 inch and the line up near the seat is a bubble flare and the back block at the rubber hose is an inverted flare. Can someone tell me what size threads each are? I am not sure if the 3/16 inch lines at the auto store are the same threads. would each end have the same size threads even though one is a bubble flare and the other end is an inverted flare? The old parts seem to be the same size as the store lines but the old line is not screwing into the new parts very well. I have not forced it. I am not sure if somewhere down in time if the threads were changed. I don't want to strip what is good on the truck.
I am having trouble finding parts without flaring the tube myself. I really don't want to get into that. Thanks for any specs if possible.
