C5 brakes with braided lines question

Hey guys: I'm going to do C5 Vette front brakes.

I'm wondering How the heck do these braided lines connect to the stock brake lines? I can't tell what kind of fittings are on the non-banjo ends of the lines.

I understand how they connect to the calipers but not to the stock hard lines. Thanks to anyone who can answer this.

Do you have them? By the picture they have a female threaded end that would screw onto the male threaded fitting that's on the cars hardline? Am I missing something?

No I don't have them. I'm piecing together the C5 brakes and still need to buy the calipers, lines, and rotors, in addition to the modded hubs/spindles from flynbye.

OK I see how they go. One side has a female threaded fitting that goes on the inside of the wheel well and then to the banjo fitting on the caliper side.

It's been like a year since I took my brake lines off the K member, when I was painting the engine bay and k member, and I forgot about the "soft" brake line between the hard line and the caliper. This will be the line that is replaced by the braided lines.

I got it figured out now. Thanks 86TA.
