Default Line lock install, line question.

I'm in the process of installing a line lock now but as far as the brake lines go, what size are the fittings on the MC and ABS block? I've seen M12x1.0 and M10x1.0 and can I get lines with this size fitting already on it? I know I'll need adapters for the solenoid already but would like to avoid adapters on all ends if possible. Can a brake shop custom make the lengths I need? 8" and 22" Thanks

Just take the lines off the master and ABS block and cut the fitting off, get some line and flair your fittings on it good to go.

I ended up finding instructions from a f-body hurst roll control kit for the size adapters I needed. I wanted to have everything ready and the lines bent before removing it to avoid as much spillage as possible. It's all hooked up and working. Thanks

Hopefully this can help someone out.
You need 1 of each of these 2.
3/8-24 Inverted to M10X1.0 bubble flare for the ABS block
3/8-24 Inverted to M10x1.5 bubble flare for the master cylinder

You need 2 of these.
3/16x1/8 MNPT You can get them either straight or a 90 degree elbow like I needed depending on where you mount the solenoid.

Also 2-3/16 brake lines in whatever length you need. I got PVF steel likes since they won't kink even w/o a bender.
