Working through re-doing the brake system on my '66 and have discovered that the front and rear outlet ports on the dual-reservoir MC are different sizes. All of the old brake line connections on the car were 3/8".
On this MC the front brake port(on the rear half of the MC) is 3/8", but the rear brake port is slightly larger - maybe 7/16", not sure yet. The actual fluid port that the flared line matches up with appears to be the same size on both of the MC outlets.
1) Why would they have different sized threaded connections on these two ports?
2) Anyone know what size the rear port is?
Something else that is making this whole process more complex: I'm trying to use a combination valve. This valve has 5 ports on it that are 4 different sizes! The two front outlets are 3/8", but then the rear inlet port is a little larger, the front inlet is a little larger again(appears to be the same as the MC rear outlet), and the rear outlet is even larger. Why would they do this?
