Default Brake Line fittings?

I ended up buying a MaxBrake - Now I've spent several weeks back and forth with the manufacturer trying to get the right T fitting to put the sensor in the brake line...

Does anyone know the specifics about the fittings going into the master cylinder? (I have an 09 if it matters.) I'm tired of playing the guessing game... "it's a little bigger than this one, but not quite as big as that one, and it has a flare like that one, but not like this one over here"

I'd like to be able to tell them "it's a 1/4 - 20 37 degree double flare" (but the correct stuff of course)

I'll keep all my ranting about the trouble I've had to go through to get a $350 brake controller to work.... Until I finish anyway...

Can you cobble that type of controller into an ABS system?

It's not ABS if you put it between the master cylinder and the ABS control unit. It's just like any old brake system. LOTS and LOTS of pressure.

The little unit down on the frame (near where the driver's feet are) does the ABS stuff. You wouldn't want to put the sensor on one of the lines after that point.
