There it goes, late nights and the parts not in front of you gets the wrong
answer.
Thanks Miles, as you work with the brakes more than most of us I should have
sent him to you.
But, isn't there a source for the ends on the hard lines?

Jon;
Just a note on cleaning old brake fluid from your system. Fully immerse
the part or lines in clear water. Dot 3 and 4 brake fluid is made to absorb
water, and it will liquefy again by simply opening all parts of the cylinder
or line and letting it sit in water for a few hours then use compressed air
to force it out. Then rinse the insides with lacquer thinner and blow dry
with compressed air.
If your lines are rusting out try and keep them together when you remove
them as they are invaluable when making the correct bends.
