Those thread sizes at the top should be 1/2" x 20 at both ends, everything else is correct.

You mean the 7/16" and the 3/8" ? And what about the 1/4" and 3/16" line then ?

Everything else is correct, including the line sizes

I just replaced my front brake lines on my 88GT last summer. I used 3/16 bubble flare lines for both front wheels. I hope I used the right parts...

One day I will be ordering a stock brake set from TFS. There kit supplier is from Classic tube.

I have this leak at the connection block over the right rear wheel. I suppose I should replace everything with the Fierostore stainless lines, but they don't have them right now and I can't even access my account for some reason. So I really appreciate your thread, especially since there is an Autozone just up the street. I see on the web they have premade lines (not prebent) and I do have benders. Do you know how long that line is? Hopefully I won't have to cut and flare as well as bend.



Is this the right line? It has a different part number "PAEX."


AGS/3/16 in. o.d. x 60 in. ISO bubble flare metric Poly-Armour brake line with 2 pcs. M10 - 1.0 tube nut fitting for European vehicles
Part Number: PAEX-360



Alternate Part Number: AZE360

3/16 in. dia.
ISO Bubble Flare Line

I guess the image answers my question - there it says PAE-360.

Thank you very much for the detailed information, diagrams, and photos!

Sorry I'm so late to respond, just saw this. That line is the undercar line, not sure how long it is, it's REALLY long, the fitting sizes on both ends is M14x1.5, line size 6mm

I had to replace the 6mm line. Good luck, nobody carries it. NAPA can order you a roll, otherwise you need to get the 6mm preflared sections azone carries, but they have wrong fittings so you need to cut off flares, get the right fittings, drill them out a little because 6mm fittings they sell don't fit over their 6mm preflared line (it is ridiculous I was so mad) I bought 2 6 foot sections of the 6mm line preflared, with one coupler that fit the lines on their, and I bought the 6mm fittings M14 x 1.5 shown in the picture at the beginning of the thread, and they did not fit over the line. Everything worked out in the end but I was really frustrated that 6mm fittings would not fit over 6mm line. I routed the line like stock.

they didn't fit because of the coating on the lines. 6mm fittings fit 6mm lines WITHOUT COATING
I have the same issue once, but decided to take the coating off instead.
