Default Does anybody Know What size/thread flare fitting for brake lines for rear brakes

I want to replace the stock steel ugly crap to some nice braided flex line that will look nice with my new 9" rear

I want to replace them from the fitting at the rear of the vehicle near the connector cluster...

does anybody know what these 2 fittings are?

Not having Luck with finding the proper fittings anywhere...

what size line do they use? is it standard or metric line?
I'm just going to replace the ends with something I can get at the auto parts store easily.
Ill Just rent a flaring tool and put new ends on.

You can look here for what I used to make new lines for the new MWC 9. It lists fittings and brake line part numbers on my bill from a local store.

They were bubble flares.

I actually ended up cutting off the stock fittings and putting on new ones that were more common and making Standard double flare ends
