What connections/threads on brake servo & shuttle valve

Hello
A long shot, but does anyone know what the brake line
connections will be on a s3 shuttle valve (the one infront of
drivers footwell on chassis)
And on the opposite end I've got this master cylinder

What connections are those (ones bigger than the other by way)
Need to get some brak pipes made up to go between. Anyone in
Yorkshire got a flare tool, and some pipe/ends I can procure for
bear tokens?

i could not get any of the right sized fitting for the larger
one that would take a 3/16" pipe so i purchased a m12 x 1 tap
and tapped it out as the 3/16" pipe fittings are very easy to
get hold of.

Sounds a pain Dave, but did that just involve running a tap in
the existing threaded hole, or was there some drilling involved.
What are the other connections?

I seem to think the imperial threads on the mc are 3/8 & 7/16
unf, but someone who actually knows what they are talking about
might correct me. :toothless:

Think you might find this fits the master cylinder

As for the other fittings I suppose they will be imperial (not
sure when/if the S3 went to metric?

Mmnn how much later.
I think the brakes on mine have been upgraded to circa 1981.
They are twin circuit 11" drums, front brakes have twin
pistons/leading shoes.

I had the correct sized union but the hole in it was too big for
my new brake line and it just wobbled side to side so i used a
standard union after tapping it out, i have all the gear
including the tap and flaring tool and unions you can borrow if
you wish to pick them up and leave me a deposit of some kind as
i dont know you from Adam.

Hi Dave
Would be fantastic if I could borrow the tools, and pay for any
gear I use from your stocks. Have you got some spare pipe too.
Whereabouts are you??
If close by, I could even measure up the lengths of pipe I need,
and bring the parts from the two ends to confirm connections.
