'76 Argosy - Back Brake Line - can't find?!

It seems the back brake line on my 76' Argosy uses a bigger diameter input line/bolt than what all the auto parts stores carry. Any suggestions? Can't seem to find the correct part...

Is this a trailer? To my knowledge Argosy didn't have hydraulic brakes. I'm confused about the term "input line".
Can you post some pics.

It's a HM.

It looks like this.

NAPA AUTO PARTS

The problem is that the "(2) 3/8"-24 & Female" connectors are to small. My pipe nuts are bigger, 7/16 I believe. This cable and the one they sell at Autozone, O'Riley's, etc don't fit.


Most sites say "Except Motor Home Chassis"...


Center
Except Motor Home Chassis
7,600 To 8,200 Lb GVW
9,000 To 10,000 Lb GVW
7,600 To 12,300 Lb GVW
w/ Motor Home Chassis

Anyone?!

Look at some of the collector/antique car sites like J.C.Whitney. They have a lot of wierd stuff like what you are looking for.
