Im restoring a 1960 F100 for the son of a friend who unfortunately died in a helicopter crash last year. Ive upgraded the brakes both front and rear with CPP's disc brake conversion and dual power master cylinder. I also purchased enough 3/16 line to bend up and entirely new system. My question is, whats the proper fitting to use to mate to the 10mm flex lines at each caliper and at the master cylinder, and what is the proper flare type to use on the lines? I did invest in that fancy Eastwood flaring tool to ensure I do this right the first time. This is my first go around at bending up an entire system, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It is very hard to give you a definite answer on this. Could you possibly post pictures of the ends you are dealing with?
