read the first post you did after the request was asked. i think you said to take the part off a parts car.
I was asking about the fitting, and that is what Dan was talking about. I did get a good fitting(thanks Kev) and then I couldn't get a line to fit through the fitting. This is when the idea of drilling out the fitting to accept 1/4 inch line and then bubble flare it with a good quality tool came out.
I don't see how this can be unsafe using new brake line, I wouldn't use junk car brake line.
