|  86 burban front brake line thread?
does the left front brake line on my 86 burban (where it connects to the proportioning valve or the brake hose) have a metric or standard thread? it blew out where the line connects to the hose so i have to replace the line due to some serious rust.

thanks steve. i figured it out. i actually just got done with it. it was a normal double flare. i was just struggling to get the new line threaded into the proportioning valve due to all of the oil and rust. didn't feel like paying $110 for the prebent line so i just bought a $5 straight one from the ap store and bent it up myself. i dont know what a bubble flare is. nor do i think my flaring tool does a bubble flare. guess that really means i'm gettin old.
