I have to replace the brake hose leading to the right front caliper on an 89 Maserati/TC. I finally got the original hose off the hard line with some effort but the nut doesn't seem to mate up with the threads in the new brake hose fitting. The calipers are supposed to be the same as an 88 Daytona and all the hardware looks like the usual Chrysler hardware. My question is: Does anyone know if the brake line nuts/ fittings on the TC, or the Daytona are standard US or Metric ? They look like standard but I can't explain why the line won't bolt back up to the new hose. Are all brake fittings on this era Mopar, even a half breed like the TC, standard SAE, Metric or is only one standard used worldwide like on all sparkplugs having millimeter threads ?
Something has to explain why the nut just won't hook up. I bought a new premade brake line with new fittings already attached and it screws into the new hose with no effort wahtsoever. I wondering if I have a SAE hose and a metric nut on the TC's hard line.
The threads look to be of the same pitch and type as the caliper's bleeder screw.
