The brake lines are 1/8 inch. Rather than buy lines and bend and flare the ends of them it is just as economical to buy pre-formed lines at the auto parts with the ends already flared and the flare nuts on them. Use a flare nut wrench to loosen and tighten the nuts.

When replacing brake lines, wheel cylinders or calipers air will get into the lines because they were taken apart. Usually air gets into the lines before you work on it because the master cylinder got too low on brake fluid letting air into the lines. Also a bad seal on a caliper piston and a brake wheel cylinder will allow air into the lines.
If you buy preformed brake lines that fit without alterations you should expect to pay $375. If you bend and custom fit the lines yourself from stock stainless steel lines expect to pay about $175.
