Got the wheel cylinders in. I have hunted and hunted and cannot find a 3/16" male to 3/8" female adapter for the rear junction block. Looks like I will have to make my own with 2 fittings and a short piece of brake line. Not ideal, but I guess it will work and I am running out of options. The rest of the brake hoses will get 3/8" fittings on the hard lines. I'm surprised I'm the only one who seems to be having problems with this! I'm probably doing something wrong.

For the rear axle nut I couldn't find a washer the right size but a machine bushing that is just a little smaller width. Came with 2 in the bag so I should be able to use 1 or 2 to get the nut castles in the right spot for the cotter pin per "Owens" awesome suggestion!
