Anyone know where I can get brake pipe nuts to the following spec.:

10mm x 1.00mm Short (approx. 16 mm) w/ tapered Seat (45*) with a non threaded leading edge.

Similar to the one on the left in the photo linked below:

Have found 10mm x 1.00 but there's no mention of it having the tapered seat suitable for SAE double flared brake lines, which is what I believe our cruisers use.

TIA

I don't think the whether the tube nut has a taper or a right angle shoulder is important. I've always used the right angle tube nut on both double flare and double flare (bubble) ended pipe. The type of flare used is determined by the internal seat in the calliper or cylinder. Perhaps that's why you can't find any tapered nuts but seeing a picture of one is a bit confusing. Perhaps buy a bag of nuts from Toyota?
