Hi
I have a leak in my brake line that’s right in the back next to the rear bulkhead connector which is welded to the frame rail. I looked at all the vendors on the internet and could not find one that sells this line. I have a 1991 R1500 two wheel drive suburban. Any ideas would be appreciated. I was thinking I would just section in a short line and make up some connectors and double flare the ends of the lines. It appears to be 1/4 inch but not sure of the thread size and pitch.

Hard to tell I think by 91 gm was already throwing in the oddball metric fitting. My guess is the fitting is 1/4 tube 7/16-24 inverted flare. The bracket may be rivited to the frame or welded. But the connector that passes thru that bracket sure isn’t.
it’ll have some clips holding it in. Just so corroded it’s hard to tell. Post some pics brotha.
We like to sees the prablam
