Metal Brake Line Size?
I need to replace the metal line that runs from the MC to the front right rubber brake hose. What size is it? and 60" should be long enough right? Cuz thats the biggest autozone sells.

I got 60" of 1/4". Looks like its not enough and too big. So mabey its 3/16?
All they have is hard line, it dosent seem too flexible. Id almost rather patch the tiny hole with JB Weld than try bending all that metal line.

I just replaced the metal lines on the rear of my 86. If you have a cheapo tubing bender it isn't all that hard. Yes the lines are all 3/16" by the way.

should be able to bend it by hand, if it's got that wire wrapped around it. 3/16" with inverted flare fittings are on my car, apparently later cars had metric bubble stuff on it.... dunno about that.
