Does anyone know the size/type of fittings on the flexible transmission and brake lines? Are they same as an RX7? I can measure the length, but I was hoping not to have to open the lines to determine the size/type of the connections. I am looking at replacing the rubber lines with stainless ones. Thanks.
...the hose to the clutch slave cylinder, there were several different versions...
REPU's --to the best of my knowledge-- all had coarse(r) threads.
(Some?) years rx-4 ('77 REPU???) came with 'banjo' fittings...
1st-gen rx7's had finer threads; otherwise all appear identical in length. (Also, the actuator rod in the slave cylinder is a slightly different length...)
Don't know about the brake hoses, but I'd suspect similar changes over years/models.
I had my rear brake flex line replaced with stainless
Just took it to my local Earl's Plumbing shop and he made one up right there. He said MAZDA is the only manufacturer that uses that thread and pitch fitting, and the fittings are getting scarce. And are therefore pricey.
