I tried to install new brake lines today but apparently I need help. The old lines are S/S and are being replaced w/ rubber Meyle's. The old line has a small end on each end whereas the Meyle has one small and one large. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) It fit's tightly on the hard line off the caliper but loose as a goose on those 1/2 union fittings which are both a bit smaller.
old n new  different size ends   I have more pic's if needed. The size difference is appx .020. Attached image(s)

Technically there are no unions in the line. Different fitting. Lose that adapter on the car and the lines will go together like Scotty boy says.
