I am going to make some new hard brake lines for the Teener.
What is the OD of the stock lines we use? (5/16 or 3/8 or ?) Are the couplings metric thread or standard for the flare connections. Thanks in advance! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Nate |

They're metric bubble flare. You can buy them in several standard lengths, and the commonly available ones are made of easily bendable material. I don't recall the diameter, but it's like 5 or 6mm OD. The Cap'n

we bought the replacement kits from germany. Although one has to bend them the sets are complete and of the very proper length and cheap!

I can't recall the Diameter either. |
