Default Need confirmation on a brake question

I have been searcing for this answer for a while and I think I finally found what I need. But just want to confirm from you guys if this is true. Are the brake fittings on the front caliper and master cylinder on a 76 a 10mm fitting?

Thanks a lot guys.

I don't know for sure what you have but my front master cylinder has 1/8-NPT threads.....the front caliper (GMA) has 10mm threads....I have tons of fittings in the tool box just for this occasion. 1/8-NPT, 10mm and 12mm fittings as well as 10mm and 12mm copper washers to cover all the bases. Always be prepared.....when you got an 'ol Ironhead in the garage you can NEVER have too many spare parts!
