... would combine the somewhat rare M12x1.25 tube nut size (most are 1.0) with a double/inverted flare... most Metric flares are ISO/Bubble...
No local places open this weekend do not have the size, only NAPA, but NAPA only has it in ISO flare. Mopar P/S part is $240 for 2 feet of bent 1/4" brake line. No.
What is this all about? Replacing a rusted and spewing 1/4" Power Steering line on an old Dakota. I bent and flared a 1/4 brake line line using 1/2"x20TPI tube nut ends, but they are a tiny bit too large, just won't screw in. (1.25 and 20TPI are very, very close thread pitches... 1/2 is only .020" larger than M12). This is one case where my calibrated eyeball sizing failed me. Had to order some from eBay seller goodbrakes with 2 weeks delivery, hopeful local Grainger or somebody else local might have it Monday morning.
OK rant over. I hope this helps somebody looking to make their own, to get the right fittings up front.
