[T3] Brake Line Length and Couplings

["John M. Kowalski" <john.kowalski@zg.tel.hr>]

Hey all,

After riding my high of fixing the front suspension, I decided to replace
the front-to-back brake line that the PO installed UNDER the floorpans
(i.e., dangling underneath the car).  I needed to install this properly
before taking the car for its technical inspection.  

I installed the new brakeline that I ordered from MOFOCO a few years back
(even though it was a few years back, I distinctly remember ordering one
for the T3).  Well, this one was about 6 or 8 inches too short.  Good thing
that I didn't remove the old line before slipping this one through the fire
wall and along the tunnel.  Gotta pull it out and replace it with a longer
one.  This leads to two questions:

What is the proper length (in/cm) of the front to back brake line?

What is the proper size of the male threaded ends that screw into the MC?
This is a '65 Variant.  The ends on the new brakeline look like they have a
larger thread than what the MC and brake couplings on the car will accept.  

Take care,
