Default Brake question. What did I miss?

Alright im recently swapped my del sol S' master cylinder and brake booster, becuase im doing full VTEC discs all the way around, and Everything if fine except the rear brake line on the master cylender wont fit, its much to small.

Did I miss something?

Do I have to swap out the prop valves too or not? Because they are way different.

Do I have to get some sort of adapter?

Pics for reference.

del sol S prop valves



Too small


VTEC's prop valves


Bigger.


Sorry about blurry pics.

Thanks.

Thats an ABS fitting
Theyre m12, opposed to the standard m10 fitting.

You need to cut off the m10 fitting, replace with an m12, and re-double flare the line

Any chance I could just buy an adapter from a place like fasten-all?

Reflaring is really very easy.
Autozone rents a flaring tool set too.

If you search for my itr mc/bb install, there is a link in that thread on how to do it (i want to say its at the bottom)

I would not bother looking for an adapter (Im sure they make them though)

Nvm I found it.

So I would have to cut off a really small amount, put the new fitting on and then re flare the line?

Im assuming taking off the line would be necessary?

You dont have to remove the line, but it would probably make it a lot easier.
You will need a pipe cutter too. Anything else will result in chewed up tubing, which is not good.
You will probably lose...0.5-1" of line (which is ok because you can gently rebend it to fit/reach the port)
