fitting compatability- Kore3 flex lines

[astroracer]

Hey Tobin,
I sent you an email thru Kore3 but thought I would post this up
I am lining up fittings for the van and am getting fairly confused. I am looking for fittings to terminate the hard lines on the frame and rear axle and I "think" these will work...

They are 3/8-24 female on the hardline side and -3 AN male out to your flex lines. I need to know if the -3 is compatible with your 3/8-24 female fittings.
If not do you have a recommendation or source for these?
Thanks bud

I used those fitting on my Camaro, they did work with the 3/8-24 fittings (3/16" line) and -3 AN flex lines.

Well I'm not Tobin. But, I will say that the "normal" 3/8-24 brake fitting is an inverted flare, not -AN.

What I would advise is to terminate the soft line with a female fitting that fits your hard lines. Likely a 3/8-24 inverted flare or metric bubble flare, like the one pictured below. I like to reduce the total number of fittings and adapters whenever possible.

With that said, you can order soft lines with -AN fittings if you prefer.

Thanks guys!
John, I have been talking to Tobin through emails and he has me going the same route. Hard mount the flex lines and plug the hardlines into the flex lines. Less leak points and common fittings.
Thanks
