1.) GM Metric to 3/16" (double flare)
2.) 3/16" to 1/4" adapter.
from there, we used 1/4" line to the 1/4" union (1/4" is like 6.35 mm) hooked to the 6mm line on the other side.
I had the same exact problem. do a search under my name and metric and you can find the post. Holpe this helps some,
I also found these at CarQuest.

I wouldn't suggest for anyone to use this but do use it myself. I use a 1\4" tube. You will need free up the metric fitting a little, if I remember about 6.5mm. Then use the first part of a sae double flare and you're done. Might be an idea to practise on a scrape piece first.
