[Roadsters] Gas and brake line sizes?

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Ken,

I read your "History".  I don't know what you have decided to do with the motor, but, if there is rust in any of the cylinder bores, the pistons need to come out before the engine is cranked.  Rust, iron oxide, is much harder than the block material and will scratch the bores.  Plus, even changing the fluids may not get all the rust out of oil and cooling systems -- at least not something I would trust.  I think the motor needs to come out and get hot-tanked.  Then the cylinders and pistons can be properly checked to determine what needs to be done to rebuild it.

Sorry, but I do not know the brake or fuel line sizes, but there are replacement tubing suppliers out there who will, and who probably can supply replacement lines.  I see Ronnie Day has referred you to Classic Tube.  Hemmings Motor News has many such suppliers in their classifieds, also.

Gary

Subject: [Roadsters] Gas and brake line sizes?
 

I am gearing up to replace all of the brake components  in my wife's 70 
1600 Roadster.  It has been sitting for 14 years under a pile of boxes 
in the garage.  I figure I need to replace it all, even the stainless 
steel tubing lines.  My question is, what sizes are those lines?  I have 
to buy flaring tools, tubing, etc. and short of buying calipers I 
thought someone might save me that trouble.  I don't even know if they 
are metric or SAE....
