Brake pipe bolt question

Dart Vader · Post by **Dart Vader** » Thu May 02, 13 5:46 pm

When you tighten the brake pipe to the master cylinder does the nut bolt thing the pipe runs through have a proper name

Came to put my brake lines on today, one when on fine, the other one, the one furthest from the booster, seems to have a 13mm thread in the master cylinder but the nut on my pipe seems to be a 14 or so.

So I need to buy the right size

So what are they called or does anyone have one?
