On the m38a-1 what size pipe is used for the rigid lines from the master cylinder to the front and back flex lines and from the axle t's to the flex lines on the front and the wheel cylinders on the rear? Thanks.

Okay.....well here's a dumb question......but why do they spec steel nuts on Line GG and brass nuts on everything else? Just curious mostly........

Actually the steel nut was listed as an optional nut. Meaning either or can be used. I would assume it had to do with vendor or manufacturer source issues.

I am not so sure these lines were originally copper. I believe the copper was used for service replacement to make it easier to fit in the field.
