the line to the rear is 6mm. the small lines to the front wheels, and the lines on the axle are 4.75 mm. 1/4" is close to 6mm, but will not fit in the flare nuts the car curtrently has, so yolu would need to find new ones with a 1/4" ID, or drill them out carefully.
4.75 is close to 3/16 and will interchange.

Great, i appreciate it. My local McAutozone has the 6mm , and the 3/16 will work for the 4.75. The breaks on this are barely working, and the front of the res was completely empty when i bought this thing. I have always wanted one of these, (ta or z) and i want to get it fully functional before i decide how far i'm going to go with it. Thanks for the help again.
