Default Master cylinder/Brake line Question

I was attempting to replace my brake booster and master cylinder this past weekend, but ran into a problem. My car is 93 del sol, and the BB/MC is from a 94 teg (1" MC). I found out that one of the brake line fittings for the master cylinder needs to be a larger than the fittings my sol has. I found the brake line I need at this site below (number 9 in pic), but since the line runs from the mc to abs (which I don't have) I was wondering if anyone could tell me what size the fitting on the abs side of the brake line is. It needs to fit into a 40/40 proportioning valve (also from teg). If anyone knows where I can buy metric brass fittings online, that would work too. Thanks.

Perfect thread as i was having this debate with my friend. You have a ABS LS MC/BB? Your 100% you need to reflare? Just making sure.

Sorry i dont know the pitch size.

Also bad link.

Yep, 100% sure that the fitting on the stock line is too small. I had already installed the brake booster and master cylinder before realizing this (had to take apart my intake manifold to get it to fit too, damn H). I was just hoping that I could buy this line in the pic (should work now), and just rebend it to the proportioning valve. The only problem I would have is if the fitting on the abs side was the same size as the fitting on the MC side, then it wouldn't fit my proportioning valve. I know someone's been through this before, and knows what I need.

If all you need is 1 fitting (maybe 2 for 2 lines), buy it, cut the fitting off and install them on your old lines, relfaring (it is a double flare, btw)
I dont know the size of the abs fitting either.....
I know for a fact that the autozone near me has brass metric and sae brake fittings, Im sure yours does too.......for when you get the size

They don't here. Autozone, napa, and advance have standard size fittings only here. No metric. I went everywhere before swapping the stock bb/mc back in. I guess I'll have to buy the line, and hope it works. If not, I can chop the fitting off the end and get the flare kit to move the fitting on my stock line.
