Not quite tractor-related but the Chevy C60 in question is a farm truck that hauls grain that is grown with the help of a tractor . . .
The brake booster on my FIL's 1975 C60 went out so we ordered a numbers-matching replacement from a name-brand auto parts store. Everything on the new booster was a direct fit except for one hydraulic connection. The steel tube coming to the booster has a flared end with what measures to be a 1/2-24 male threaded nut. This threaded directly into the port on the old booster. However, the new booster has a port that measures at 1/2-20 and came with an adapter installed in it. Our problem is that the female thread in the adapter is too small for our existing line and I've been unable to find a suitable adapter on-line.
Anybody have any suggestions? It is the 1/2-24 thread that has me confused since this would be the pitch for a compression fitting but the appearance of the nut and tube is the same as a typical inverted flare connection. However, an inverted flare thread is 1/2-20, not -24. Although I deal with hydraulic fittings all the time at work I don't know much about these automotive-style connections so I'm curious if any of you guys have any advice.
