Double flare brake lines on a 4th gen rear??
Can I use a standard double flare brake line on a fourth gen rear and third gen "T"? And does a 1992 firebird and a 1995 z28 share same brake line fitting size?
Please answer, I need to fix my issue today.
Thanks.

Hi,
My 3rd Gen IROCZ has Metric Bubble Flairs.
The Brake Line over the rear-end is 3/16". Not sure about the other runs?
Best Regards,
Bruce

Hi,
I measured the actual line on the rear end. In multiple spots the measurements were much closer to 3/16 then 5mm.
There is always some error on the measurements.

I have made a few of these lines myself and the flare nuts I buy here are for 5mm line, that's what matters..the inner size of the flare nut. the bubble flare will seal fine.
