Default Need so brake line help

Ok so I bought a stainless hardline kit. Turns out the fitting on the end of the long line that runs to the bracket is the wrong size. The flex hose that screws in there is to big.

What size fitting is it pose to be m10?. Also what flare is it? They can send me the right one but I need to know what size and what flare I need to put on the end.

Ok well the flare is a iso flare and I've only seen one tool that would do iso and in stainless. Think I'm just going to get them to give me a whole new line.

Yeah, good move.....I dont know about others, but ive have the WORST luck trying to flare stainless with those 'el cheapo flare kits from autozone. Unless you have a $300 aircraft quality flaring tool id let the pros do it.
