Thanks to all who helped out on the flare wrench size for the TR3 carb
vacuum line fitting.  A couple of people said 5/16ths.  That turned out to
be a bit too small.   A few people suggested Whitworths.  They were
probably right.

Meanwhile, I got the carbs out of the car today.  Not having the right
flare wrench, I successfully used a mini-vicegrip.  (Please don't tell any
purists on this list!  I'm not proud of it, but I'm not going to apologize
for it either).  It worked fine, and did not mar the nut.
