replacing 1g hard brake lines question

[tarheels23]

I've been searching for answers but can't really find what I need. I need someone to confirm or correct me about what I think I need from reading.

So far I've read the 1g hard lines are 10/1.0mm thread pitch and 3/16 line. Is this correct and will I need anything else

when i did mine i used 3/16 line and fittings. your going to need plenty of pb blaster as well

Yes that is correct for tube and fitting sizes. You will likely need some unions if you are using pre-made tubing lengths. How much of them and what specific lines are you replacing?

you may want a bender too, but most of the lines nowadays you can bend by hand pretty successfully.

Might as well get the Copper-Nickel line while your at it. It's a few bucks more expensive, but it's much more corrosion resistant. Plus, it's even easier to bend. Most part stores carry it in the pre-made lenghts, and in 25' rolls. It flares super easy too.

I had to replace one of my rear lines because it bursted the one day after I got to work.I ended up coming up about 4 inches short of a 25 foot poly armor line replacing both of my rear brake lines since they both looked pretty bad. I just needed to rent a double flaring tool and bought a couple flare unions because I read everywhere that compression fittings were illegal, I wanted safe and long lasting not risky.
