rear brake line fitting sizes

Does anyone know the size of the fittings for the rear brake lines. I have goodridge SS lines but I recently purchased the wilwood NDL calipers, widefoot adapters, and RZ rotors for the rear brakes. On Max Cooper's site he said he got the brake line stuff from Essex. I called them and they didnt know anything about it and the rep that was listed on Max's site doesnt work there any more. Anyway.

The NDL caliper takes a 1/8-27 NPT.

I am either going to attempt to find an adapter ffor the banjo fitting or just get some generic -3an brake lines from HRPworld and get the proper fittings to make it work.

Basically what I would like to find out is this:
What is the banjo bolt (where it goes to the rear caliper) size
What is the fitting from the hard line to the rear brake line size


Thanks!

I'll be subscribing, I'm installing NDL's on the back and SL6's on the front.

I had some rear brackets machined to use the wilwood spot calipers for E-brakes, will be testing, tracking, and eventually selling a kit.

Front of the car uses 10x1.0 tube nuts on hard lines, can't imagine the rear being any different. Thought a taper thread would be unusual on a caliper, will certainly be a straight one on the Mazda part.....and probably 10x1.0 too.
