Default What size sc400 brake hard lines?

So i found this nice little leak in the back on the right rear brake line. Anyone got any idea what size brake line i need? I'm just gonna cut the segment off and replace with new line and gator grips.

3/16" line and m10x1.0 thread using a bubble flare. It looks like thats the passenger rear line which is fairly easy to replace, the real question is are you going to replace the end of the line leading into the connecting block? It looks like it will be next on the list to need replacing.

Yea 3/16th worked perfectly. I'm not sure what you're asking but i simply cut the bad segment off and replaced it with a new piece of line and connected with gator grips. The connecting block was so rusted i couldn't get it off so i just spun it around so it wouldn't rub on the new line.

looks like you took care of what I was talking about. The line that leads into the connecting block looked like it was going to rot out pretty quick so I'm glad you replaced the whole block and a bit of the line leading into it.

Keep in mind that the line was bolted down at that connector so it wouldn't be a bad idea to get some sort of strapping to hold the line secure. That way it has less chance of fatigue/breaking from vibrations even if it is only a slight chance of that happening.

Nice work!
