2000 sunfire brake lines

[fang508]

So I recently bought a used 2000 Sunfire GT as a replacement for my 1992 chevy s10 that got totaled in an accident. This car must have been driven up north in the snow for some time since there is body and frame rust. But what's worse is there is one brake like in particular that is rusted a lot more than any of them. It needs to be replaced so I looked around for prebent and regular brake lines. I cant seem to find prebent lines but I did find some straight but easily bendable line at autozone. My research would suggest that I need 3/16" / 4.75mm line with m10x1.0 fittings using a single bubble flare. Is this correct? I basically need the line that goes from the proportion valve to the pass front wheel.

everything I see indicates that brake lines should be double flared

You sure its not ISO/bubble flare? I bought wheel cylinders for the rear and their line seats are for ISO/bubble flares. They have a cone that goes downward while an inverted flare seat would be going upward.

Well I found some things out and replaced my brake line and thus far no leaks. It is a 3/16 line with a m10x1.0 iso/bubble flare on the wheel side and is another thread type on the ABS side but also ISO/bubble flare. The ABS side is a coarse thread while wheel side is a fine thread which seems odd but that's the factory line that came off. Since It uses 2 different fittings I cut the old line and put the old ABS side fitting on the new line and reflared it. Got the system bled and all seems to be well.
