Quick Brake Line Question

Are our brake line fittings SAE or metric?

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

metric, they are 10mm x 1.0

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.
