My old rusty brake line cracked and I am planning on replacing it tonight. Does anyone know the brake line diameter and fitting size on my 93 FSB.

I'm just trying to save a bit of time and get the parts on my way home from work. lord knows the pimply dork at pep boys doesn't know what size it is.

Thanks for your help miesk5
well the answer to my question is 3/16. For those of you searching for fuel size, I have found it best to take off the old line so that you have the connecting end with you when you go to the auto parts store. there are a couple different thread types and you don't want to %@$# that up.

thanks everyone for the help and quick input.

:histerica It's good practice to do what you did and bring in the part when possible just to be safe.

Are you just replacing a piece at the diff or do ya gotta go all the way from the master cylinder?

just a 4' section from the diff to the transfer case. every thing from there forward was in good shape
I dont know if you are going to keep it, since you are in the rust belt, some of the best money I have spent is on stainless steel brake lines.
This is my long term project so I will need to do something more permanent. I had to do a quick fix because my porsche 944 crapped out 2 days before the brakes went out on the beast. I hate driving the wife's grocery getter.
I was wondering where you did the "patch", and if it required a compression fitting. I dont like those, but the steel ones are the only ones to use on steel line. The brass ones are not for brakes.

I used a steel comp fitting. it was done literally right at the back side of the transfer case.
