If I remember well, when I did mine it's a 10mm x 1 metric DINO/ISO flare.
Here is a file that will help you.

Jay you can make your own brake line using the steel line they sell off the shelf at any parts store , also pick up the tube bender also. This is what I did , just made all my lines new.

Just got off the phone with Part Source and they have everything I need however, his first response was " I don't think a metric flare kit exists" see photos above :roll: :mrgreen:

Okay, just a quick update. Went to Partsource and their kit was $90+ :shock: So I waited for my rain check from Princess Auto. Picked it up today and all parts are there :lol:

Hopefully make some headway this week :?
