Brake line identification/extention? where to find them?
ok quick random question, does anyone know exactly what style brake lines are on these trucks?
from what i have gathered it is a "bubble flare" fitting, but has a metric thread on a standard 1/4" line, does that make it a "metric bubble"?
anyways, what i need is a 20'' extention for the end of the rear brake line where it connects to the rubber axle hose for my mega cab long bed conversion, checking at napa we could only find 3/16'' line

ok scratch that idea, i just picked up a tube cutter, a double flare tool, some fittings, and a 20'' long double flare tube, just going to cut my line, flare it and extednd it
I know this sound stupid... but if your taking your line off, you could just look at it and see what type it is then!
Most flare tools can do diff styles.
Length sticking out to be flared is key! Not too much or too little!
