Can’t find hard line with 10mm fittings. I’m replacing the section of hardline that goes from the center of the rearend to the caliper flex hose.
Why can’t I find any 3/16 hardline with 10mm fittings? Nobody in town has it. Finally just ordered a roll of brake line and a pack of fittings to make it myself but still wondering why I can’t find a premade piece with the correct fittings?

What town do you live in ??? What era is the car you're working on from ?
When I was at Tuffy,we had various lengths from the local auto stores.
Advance and AutoZone both carry lengths (from short 8" to long 60") with fittings for both 10mm and 3/8-24 connections and for regular inverted flare and bubble flare.
My 98Z,which I recently did the rear lines,had 3/8-24 inverted flare at the tee on top of the rear end and 10mmx1.0 bubble flare for connecting to the caliper hoses.
Rather than put up with the tiny 10mm and 3/8-24 fittings,I converted the lines to -3AN fittings and stainless steel line.
