Default brake hard line fitting size on rear axle ?

anyone know size and thread of the fittings on the brake hard lines that run along the rear axle?
Instead of reusing and bending my original to go on an S60 axle, thinking of buying new lines. thanks.

2002 camaro.

come to find out, it's metric thread 3/16" tubing with bubble flare. M10x1.0 is the small fitting. M12x1.0 is the larger one.

Yeah it's a little odd, I had to go hunt for it at parts stores. I couldn't find just the fitting but I could find it attached to a (really) short piece of line. So for my 98 I just simply bought that piece and cut the tubing to get the fitting I needed. Oh, and with a little bit of tinkering you can use the double flare tool that you can rent from Autozone to create a bubble flare.

actually depends on the ABS package and which end of the tube you are working on... There are 5 different combinations.
