Making my own brake lines!

[Struggler]

So im looking into building my own brake lines in my track car to get rid of the ABS system and have the line for the rear brakes inside the car!
but im not sure on the width of the pipe ill need to use and/or the fitament of the unions!!
does anyone know if theyre all a standard size??

would this kind of kit be ok for the job??

im obviously aware that i would need a pipe bender and flare kit aswell to build the brakelines, but the build doesnt need to completed anytime soon so i can just keep at it until i get it right!! lol


thanks!

im no expert and someone will tell you better but do you need a bender? it only thin stuff, and just go to your local motor factors and buy some male and female connectors ?

you need a bender otherwise it will kink when you try to bend it!!

I don't think you need a bender as long as you don't attempt anything too tight. I didn't need to use one after receiving my brake lines coiled up from the motor factors.
