CPP Combo Valve-to-stock brake line adapter fittings

Ok, I need help from the guys who have done this before.

Doing my disc brake conversion, using a CPP combo valve and my stock brake lines, the front brake line appears to be larger than the hole in the combo valve, and the rear appears to be smaller.

I figured Im looking for:
Front: 3/8" x 24 male inverted flare to a 7/16" x 24 female inverted flare
Rear: 9/16" x 20 male inverted flare to a 1/2" x 18 female inverted flare

Sound right?

Re: CPP Combo Valve-to-stock fuel line adapter fittings

Cpp should have the necessary adapters. When I did mine they sold a package containing 3 different ones. They were the only place I could find the proper sizes, no auto parts store or fastener shop had the proper size.

I seem to recall my CPP combo valve coming with the set of adapter fittings.

My stock brake lines matched right up to the CPP combo valve. But my rig is a 1972... so that might have had something to do with it.

That’s the one. Good luck finding them anywhere else. I even went to McFadden/Dale, which carries everything under the sun...and they didn’t even have them.

How long ago for McFadden Dale?

Grainger next door says they have them on the website. I actually found them at Autozone last night but didn't like the fit.

Worse case im driving to CPP at lunch tomorrow to get the set.

Drove to CPP they had the adapter in a set of 3 (for 3 different sizes) for the rear brake line (it is steel). The front I had to source myself, and it is brass from Pep Boys.

Got it installed, now on to the ball joints before the installation of the brackets and the brakes.
