there isn't much info on this so I'm wondering if this is fresh on anyone's mind. The hard lines on the S chassis are

0.188" (3/16") outside diameter
fittings are an M10x1.0 straight thread flare nut
flare type is inverted

BUT, what is the flare degree?

I've seen 37* which I think is typically SAE and AN. Then I've seen 45* from the metric flaring tools. Is that the correct angle?

Also, does anyone know a good online source for hardlines and flare nuts?

These are some I came up with

Fox Run Tools - Brake Service Kits (http://www.foxruntools.com/brakeservicekits.aspx)

Flare Nut (http://tools.ntxtools.com/flare-nut--category-S.U.R.%2526R.-Auto-Parts)

If im not mistaken all the brake lines are 45*

the 37* are only for AN/Hydraulic fittings.
