FYI stuff:
- brake line outer diameter is: 3/16"
- brake line fittings used on 3/16" line is: 3/8"-24 and 7/16"-24
- interconnector size: 5/8" long x 1/2" wide with 3/8"-24 thread sizes
All brake hardlines have been removed from the car. The rear axle flex hose was in very bad shape. After removing that flex hose I cut it open to find this;

| Cross section of rear axle flex hose...40+ years of service |
I have ordered a 25' coil of brake line and brake line mounting hardware, and brake line nuts in 3/8" and 7/16" sizes. I also ordered a rear axle vent kit and rear axle vent fitting. Those parts will be in some time next week.
Any of the removed hard lines that had mounting brackets/clips have been removed and are now soaking in Evapo-Rust.
