- 1973 mustang convertible(some day)
I ordered new brake line from the proportioning valve to the master cylinder.
The rear port(primary) thread size is 7/16 and and the front port(secondary) is 1/2.
I ordered a master cylinder from Cardone(#13-1526) that was suppose to match these lines but when it came the rear was correct but the front was 3/8 instead of 1/2. I called Cardone and they said there must have been a mix up but when I ordered the second one I got the same thing.
I then went and looked at other manufacturers (Raybestos, Wagner, Centric, Bendex) and the port sizes are all over the map.
So now my question are:
What's the correct port size for a a 1973 power front disc car?
Did anyone find a correct master with 1/2(front), 7/16(rear) port sizes?
Did our cars come with a reducer or adapter?
Thanks for any help!
