| Quick size question for threaded rod tubing.
What size ID do I need to cover 6/32 thread rod. Now what about 8/32" thread rod? I've seen 1/4" mentioned, but is that ID? And is that for 6/32" or 8/32'? Thank you |

Alright, I have some 3/16" brake line with flared ends. The 6/32" doesn't fit. Is that due to the flarred end. Only reason I haven't cut it off yet is then I can't return it if that's not the reason. Thanks. |

Brakeline is measured in outer diameter. "3/16in" brakeline is 3/16in O.D., ~1/8in I.D.. It can be tapped for 6-32 (loose fit), but will not sleeve it. You need 1/4in brakeline (3/16in I.D.) to sleeve the 6-32 rod. It is a bit of a loose fit, but the rod ends will hold it in place just fine. |

1/4" brake line should work for 8-32
