I was reading the description for installing Toyota calipers on TR4->6. The
whole thing seems very simple, so I'm putting it on my winter project list.
I'm all in favor of better brakes. The one question I have regards the
piping. I'm assuming the Toyota caliper has metric threads. Since I have an
early car with "imperial" threads, I'll need to change out the short pipe
which runs from the flex line to the caliper. Is there any other piping
which needs to be changed?

I'd be keen to hear from anyone who has done this modification and what
they thought of the results.
