Do you have a flaring tool? If you do, by a cheap metric line with the correct fitting, put it on the line you want to use. If you don't have one, you can likely rent one from your local auto parts store.

Default dodge brake line

we went through all of the break lines at the auto stores none of them had the right fitting.i think im going to buy the line for the left side it has the steel line on it to so i can cut the fitting off it and put on the right side line and then flare.just trying to figure out if its a double flare or bubble

On my 96 it was double flare. Not sure if this will help.
