Perhaps some kind person here can help.
Trying to discover what thread is used on some hydraulic brake

Sorry if this ends up a double post--I was looking for the 1/32 builders

703-803-3103 is the place to go for plastic models.  They have the best
selection around.

Store is actually in Avondale or Goodyear, out on the west side of town.
