I'm doing some plumbing of the master cylinder brake lines, and have on hand some brake line slightly smaller in diameter than the original, which I guess is 3/16 inch. With the "bubble" flare ends, and correct size fittings (10mm 1.0) will the smaller size line be OK, or is that a no no? Bob

That should be no problem. I have used 3/16" on my old 411 and could not tell the difference.
There may be some slight difference but I could not tell.

Be sure to check your messages and do not install that master cylinder yet. There has been a mail snafu somehwere. Ray
