I'm getting rid of the 4WS in my car and wondering if anyone has the flare fitting nut thread type, see image.

I'm trying to do the right thing to properly cap the lines, Im going to assume this is JIC style flaring w/ 37 deg. flare rather than an SAE flaring of 45 deg. Anyone can confirm?

I remember reading a thread about AWS line removal. The method used in the write up was to remove the lines and cut the line off of the fitting and then have it welded up and then re-install. This is the method that I intend on using when I go to pull all of the AWS lines out of 934.

I'm not really interested in the welding method, don't really have access to a welder, and im sure with the correct hardware it wont be a problem.

Ray, unfortunately that doesnt give me the dimensions I need. I had already read that thread.

They remove the hardlines at the front rack, im keeping them and capping the little bit of remaining high pressure line.

This is what I used for mine to block those lines.
The caps are -6 JIC but the lines are a -6 BSP type fitting with a metric thread(i think)

Sorry, don't know the fitting size at the high pressure short transition piece off the front rack.
