The metric is just and I mean just a "C" hair larger than the SAE fitting.
Therein lies the set up for disaster. You install the nice new master or
wheel clyinder, The fitting seems to tighten well, You take your Victory lap
for a job well done and everthing works. Then, the week after, you go for a
ride on your favorite mountain road, pushing harder and deeper into each
corner as your confidence grows, and then pop no brakes.

Subject: Re: 240 MC Metric Fittings
Mike,
I have seen the comment about metric fittings before. Is it possible to
purchase metric fittings that will thread into the body of the MC, or is the
metal tubing diameter also different than the SAE fittings on the brake
calipers and slave cylinders?
Could the metric fittings be drilled out slightly to allow SAE tubing
(assuming
that metric is the smaller of the two)?
