I need to make new brake lines but I need to know what size is the tube? Is it ¼?
May God grant me with the serenity to accept the things I cannot shoot, The ability to shoot the things I can and a place to hide the bodies

5/16 tubing from the M/C to the splitter block, 1/4 tubing the rest of the way.

On a stock, un-modified truck the line from the MC to the frame "T" is 5/16" dia.
The rest of the lines along the frame are 1/4" seamless steel. Check TM 9-8030, page 345 for the correct lengths and descriptions.
