Default Brake fitting size and flare type

Was curious if anyone knows the correct size fitting and flare used on the abs block on the 2002 z28s for the Front Right brake line ? Thanks



edit : I could probably find out myself but the threads are mangled and the flare is messed up. So figured someone would know

3/16 inverted flares and the local parts store will have the line and fittings. Don't waste your time with those cheapo rentals from the local parts store, I've used them but it took several attempts before done correctly and not leak.

I'm inclined to say yes but i'm not sure if it's the same thread pitch for the ABS block. Maybe someone else will chime in here.

The rest of the brake system is metric bubble (various thread sizes). I'd be surprised if the ABS block breaks with that philosophy. All you need is a thread checker tool to figure out thread size. Regarding the flare, post a picture and I can identify what kind of flare it is.
