I need to bleed my master cylinder. So need to make up two small bleeder lines, which is not a big deal except the fitting that goes into the master cylinder itself is not a normal 3/16 fitting , the threaded part is much larger and is slightly extended at the end of the threads. How hard are these going to be to find ?? I just made a quick trip to Canadian tire with no luck. It's Sunday so not all stores are open. Is this something I should be able to find on Monday at napa ??

Did the master cylinder come with plugs? The way they want you to bleed them now is to plug the line outlets and withe res full, pushnthe plunger until you stop seeing bubbles .

It's not a new master cylinder . I had the rear end out of the car and replaced all the brake lines goin to the rear of the car

Ya i bought one. The package said  "Metric " I asked is there another kit for standard and was told no.  It was only $9 so I figured what the hell try it out. But the biggest fitting is not even really close what I need. Even if there was a standard equivalant to the kit, its still gonna be way to small. ??

I would go into napa, buy steel brake lines that fit into the master cylinder and bend them where you want. I have a few of these at work that I made.

But the normal ends that come on their steel lines are not the correct size to go into the master cylinder . The hole in the master cylinder is a 3/8 I think but needs to hold a 3/16 line . I can't believe how hard it seems to be to find one !!

most parts stores will have brass nipples to adapt it for bleeding it out. just get a couple adapters and a short pice of line and cut it in half.
