Brake Pipes: Metric or Imperial Fittings?

[Sampraz]

Hi,

Does anyone know off-hand if the early Terrano has metric or imperial sized brake pipe fittings? Also, what is the pipe diameter?

Thanks,
Darren

Almost certain to be metric but then you might run into thread pitch anomolies as with everything else on these trucks. Pipe ill be 3/16th for some reason brake pipe has never been "metricated" though the fittings have.

Hi Hummingbird,

Sorry it's taken so long to come back to you on this, but I've been having some issues posting to the forums for the last few weeks.

Anyway, thanks for the info - I've now successfully replaced the majority of the brake pipes and thankfully didn't run into any thread pitch issues using standard flare nuts from local motor factors.

Cheers....
