If you buy a pre-made line, the fitting on the line screws right into the hose.

If you run a string from the left rear wheel along the existing line going to the 3-way block at the right rear wheel, that will be the length of line you need. I suspect in the 40-60" range.

No, those are SAE fittings, you want metric ISO fittings. That bare tube also looks like it would rust up quickly. Do you have any auto parts stores in the area? That's the easiest place to find them.

You can get new stainless steel lines from the fiero store. Pre bent with all the right fittings. I bought a complete set a long time ago. Well worth the money.
