When the brake m/c went from the "large cap" to the smaller cap
variety (1976?) all of the fitting sizes changed. Master cyl and
PDWA (in & out) fittings are all different, as are the tubing bits.
The latter fittings I believe are metric, but I never measured them.
I was able to fit an early type tandem m/c to '79 Spit by changing
out everything (m/c, PDWA & tubing sections) above the first set
of "inline" fittings. Once you get down to the bottom of the
bulkhead, the "T" fitting (for front brakes) and the "inline"
fitting (where the single line goes to the back of the car) are
the same for early & late square tails.
Hope this helps,
Bob
