I am trying to upgrade my master to a 95+ Ex master. Here's my problem. One of the lines on the B2 is a 1/2" fitting, the Ex fittings are both 3/16". What do I need to do? I have already looked for an adapter at O'reilly and AZ, and did a search on here and couldn't find any specific info.

Ok nevermind. I am all screwed up. My B2 is not the same as the Ranger I looked at while at the JY. I have a 3/8 and 3/16. And apparently the Ex master has a 3/16 and a 9/16. Time for another trip to AZ.

Ok so after even more research I find that my B2 has a 3/8 flare fitting, and the Ex is an M12 bubble fitting. Now I really don't know what to do.

Let me clarify. This is almost a direct swap for B2s. From what I seen looking around the upull at different ones, Rangers use different fittings so don't just run out and buy one. Double check. I am not going to be resonsible for your wasted money. For a little more info check my build thread.
