I'm getting ready to make my own brake lines for my 71 240z. I have found everything I need except the 10mm x 1.0 brake line nuts. I've tried my local Autozones and Oreillys and Napa with no luck. I can buy brake lines with the correct nuts everywhere, but not the nuts ONLY. Where else might I try to look. Or do I just go ahead and order them online. Thanks.

I googled your Break line nuts and got this

The size you listed is in the page.

Wow, you've discovered an excellent resource for brake line parts and tools. This will help me and hopefully several others.

Thanks!

Anybody estimated tool + lines + nuts. I'm in the process of considering polishing existing lines (with 40 year old nuts with usual vice grip gouges) or replacing all fuel/brake lines with new. I figure fuel lines are larger versions of the brake lines with different flare tooling.

If your going to try to flare your own lines, consider a quality flaring tool. I bought my "cheap" flaring tool at Oreilly's for around $25 and it can be a challenge to get a nice flare. After numerous attempts I did finally get the hang of it, but I can tell that a higher quality tool would be worth every penny. I can't tell you who makes a better tool, but you may want to do some homework before you make this investment.

Here's another source for the brake line nuts...Item #3043...pretty much buy as many as you want...my best guess to replace all nuts was around 50 or so...so that's what I ordered...and if you come up a little short, then just order some more...or just order a few extra on your initial order...
