79-80 M10-1.25 brake line nuts

I need to make a clutch line and am looking for some M10-1.25 brake line nuts. Anyone have a good source for these flare nuts? I haven't been able to find anything other than the common M10-1.00 nuts.

Also, can anyone recommend a good quality brake line flaring tool?

Thanks.

find a SA or an older mazda at the junkyard and take the ends. OR upgrade your suspension/brakes to FB and convert the lines to fine threads. its just a simple double flare

The local speed/circle track shop here carries them. Russel's and AeroQuip are 2 of their suppliers. Chances are Summit carries them too.

That's what I <i>should</i> have done, but I already bought both a new master and slave cylinder in the original thread pitch.

I wasn't able to find them on Summit or Jegs , but I was able to find a place that can make the line with the fittings. If I can't find a good used line out of a parts car, which is tough in NJ; or find a supplier who carries the fittings, I'll probably have it made by this place.

Autozone or advance auto has straight sections with a fitting on each end. You can bend from there of cut the line in half to get the nuts off.
