and what size are the lines/fittings that will go to this.

you'll need 3/16 tube nuts for your lines.
NAPA part number 105x3
you'll have to cut off the flares and 10mm nuts, put on the 3/16 and re-double-flare the tubing.

you do realize you still need a t if you use one of those valves right?

yea, i am going to tee the two lines first, then into the valve. i have no idea what re-double flaring is. i've actually never done anything with brake line before. do i need certain tools to do this stuff with? or should i have someone else do it?

I would get the Summit one. Its a re-badged Wilwood. If you peel the sticker off you will see.

And any brake shop will have fittings that adapt that to your stock lines.

something about three fittings stacked on top of each other that bothers me.

Its only two.

The weird thing was my Wilwood had pipe fittings on each side.

oh, well a 1/8 pipe directly to a 10mm would be nice. it is odd they use pipe thread tho.

Thats what I said. I went to a hole int he wall brake shop that only does brakes, and they had one in the drawer. 1/8" pipe to 3/16" line. So I just flared a standard fitting on one end of the line.

oh, i thought you meant one that was 1/8 npt to the 10mm tube nut that was on your truck originally, so you would not have to flare anything. i've got 1/8 npt to 3/16 tube thread in the store here.
