Looks like the stock lines measure 5/32". Will 3/16" be good enough to use? I'm worried that the 3/16" will be too big to fit in the stock tube nuts (not sure if that's what it's called). What do you guys think or what have you done if someone here has done this before


If you guys are wondering, I took out my ABS so I'm redoing my lines

I am pretty sure I used 3/16" line to do the 929 master cylinder install. That is the size that the RobRobinette site said to use. It is also listed as 4.7mm. Pep Boys carries lines with metric nuts for cheap if you need extras.
