Are our brake line fittings SAE or metric?

afaik, metric. 3sx sells speed bleeders in metric sizes, for instance.

Crap!

I'm shopping for some flare nut wrenches and was trying to decide between SAE or metric. The other car is SAE. So now I have to get both.

Oh i though you meant thread pitch/size.

10mm wrench for everything, i don't remember what size the bleeders are though.

Well, it's nice to know that as well. I figured if the thread pitch is metric so is the nut itself.

Yep, 10mm, just did speedbleeders on the front brakes over the weekend.
