Hi Eric -

Got the calipers rebuilt, $150 for the pair; more than I wanted to spend, but such is life.

Went to O'Reilly auto parts (aka Kragen) and the bubble flare fittings have metric fittings, the inverted flare are SAE.

Do you have a source for bubble flare 3/16 line with 3/8 x 24 fittings? I suppose I could just cut the old pipes and reuse the fittings from them on the bubble flare pipe, and just toss the metric fittings.

OTOH, if I could find 3/8x24 bubble flare to inverted flare adapters, even though you frown on them, that would work as well, and I could use an off-the-shelf line.

Aha, like so:

Adapter-Standard To Bubble Flare - 3/16" Tube - 3/8-24 Female Inverted Flare Seat x 3/8-24 Male Bubble Flare (Adapts Edelmann 3/16" Brake Lines to most Fiat & English Vehicles)

Thanks for any input!
