Default line lock, sizes to connect

I was just wondering what size ends you would need to connect to the abs and the solenoid to make your own lines. I know there are some nice kits with prebent lines but I was thinking about trying to do my own so that I could route it exactly as I want it. I was looking at the SJM solenoid it is only $40, then get some brake lines at part store and then find the ends that I would need and double flare them on. I just thought I would see if anyone on here happen to know what size it would take to directly plug in.

So on this it says 3/16 to 1/8 npt on the slp instructions so I am guessing that that is the size of the lines. Does anyone know?

I've read a decent amount about this on here. Everyone who's made their own lines for either ABS delete or for a line lock have gone with 3/16". That's what I'm doing for my car.

Alright thanks, I will be keeping my ABS, however I would kind of like to make my own lines if possible, I would prob route them slightly different then the kits do, and I know you can get the brake lines pretty cheap at the auto parts stores as long as they are nothing to special as far as fittings go. I have a switch i can use to arm, then would put additional one to use as momentary switch and would prob go with the SJM solenoid since it is only $40; however if it was going to be just as much money to make the kit as it would to buy complete would prob just go that route.

Anyone know for sure what sizes the ends are on each of the lines (in order to plug into the stock abs still), appreciate the help so far.
