Finding brake line parts

[319cssb]

I am not having any luck finding brass compression fittings in 6mm . Which is I think what the brake line size is of the Flu419?
Does anyone know where they sell them?

Are you talking 6 mm ID or 6 mm OD? Have you checked with EI? A lot of places sell 6 mm OD brass and stainless compression fittings, including Amazon.

I looked at amazon. and I have checked EI and I believe the brake lines on the FLU419 are 6mm OD. Do you have a link for amazon?

I’ll just point out that compression fittings are neither wise nor legal for brakes in most states. Brakes operate at 1000psi +/- and the FLU is 16000lbs. Better off to flare the line and put in a proper union.

I agree, but it will get me by to be able to move the truck onto the trailer and to my shop

You have a mechanical brake for that...

There are compression fittings that are superior to flared fittings. They're too expensive to be used for production vehicles which is why you don't see them. It's not because they are inferior. Swagelok and clones are prime examples.
