1966 brake line tube nuts size

[RLW88]

Hello all, I am new to the thread. Just picked up a 66 Tbird in June and I am going to bend some new brake lines for it. What size tube nuts will I need to complete the job? Can't seem to find any info on it. I am guessing 3/16 with a 3/8-24 thread, not sure on length though. Any help is appreciated.

Ryan,
According to the Ford Standard and Utility Parts Catalog (July 1966), you are correct in the size above. Catalog states Part # 87942-S8.

Thread 3/8"-24, Tube size 3/16". Hope this helps!

Hey Gus,
Thank you for the confirmation on the part size. This is indeed helpful. I'll have to get my hands on one of those catalogs. Hopefully I can get this knocked out this weekend.
