stupid bubble flares.

Was all ready to ditch my proportioning valve with a linelock for the front and adjustable wilwood valve for the rear, when I mocked it all up I then realized (forgot) that the factory lines are bubble, and metric. Now I gotta cut them off and reflare them with new fittings tomorrow for my STANDARD 3/16 I used everywhere. I practiced flaring all day at work, Hope its as easy for me now on the camaro lines as it was with the piece I used at work.
Btw, anyone know offhand what size fitting I should use for the rear brakeline? is it 5/16 or 1/4 inch?
