Default I can't figure out the master cylinder fittings for my granada conversion

I have a 65 stang that I converted to disc with the salvage granada kit on ebay. I have everything plumber but the proportioning valve to the master cylinder. All the MC's I keep getting refered to have 1/2 inch or 9/16 female fittings. I can't find a way to get from 3/8th to 1/2 or 9/16. all the parts stores have the wrong threads. HELP!!!!

But or rent a double flaring tool and make your own line ends with the correct fittings and don't use the adapters. Its the right way to do it...

79 mustang, granada

Is there a certain one with smaller holes. I can return the ones I have. The hole in the PV i think is a 3/8 and the front works but the back is too big.

If you have an inverted flare tool, buy this kit and everything will be possible...


It will have all of the ends you need, probably enough for a few projects.

The 9/16" and i/2" by 3/16" individual fittings are available on Summit as well.

Thes fittings ALL fit 3/16 tube, which are pretty much standard for American cars..

Just an observation from what I have done on my MC
I originally bought a MC for a 75-80 Granada and the feel of the pedal was not as good as when I switched to a MC from a 74 Maverick.
I bought adapters from a local parts store to adapt the different threads. I took in the plastic plugs that come on the store bought MC to Autozone I think and we matched up what I wanted. They usually have a a couple bin drawers that they have to dig through to find stuff. They took me in the back and we dug through the drawers to match the threads.
