    Found mine by rummaging in the back of the local Auto Zone. The two flare nuts you'll need that fit this master cylinder and the Maverick's 3/16" tube size are:

    AGS part # BLF-48C-5 - M12x1.0
    (interchange Edelmann part # 276012)

    and

    AGS part # BLF-39C-5 - M10x1.0
    (interchange Edelmann part # 276110)

    And you'll be doing a "bubble flare."

    Bubble Flare

    Clue me in. What is a Bubble Flare. When I do this mod I want to make sure I get it correct. Can't screw around w/ brakes.
    Thanks

    I will second the thanks, and look forward to performing this swap soon. I will try and take some pictures so it can be used for the next person.

    Thanks again,
    John

    Indeed. Your Explorer rear disc article is the reason I learned how to do a bubble flare.
