If memory serves, there were different calipers used throughout TR6
production, and they did indeed switch from SAE to metric threads at some
point. I don't think the soft line changed, but the short section of hard
line between it and the caliper did.

Seems like if it were sucking that much air, it would also leak under
pressure. Have you tried just closing the bleed valve and pumping up the
brakes, to see what leaks ?

It's certainly a possibility, but if the MC was pumping in air, you'd be
able to see it at the other corners too.
