Where can I buy imperial fittings to make the new lines for my booster?

And does anyone know if it will work with some left over line from a recent trailer project I have?

Cheers Cal

Just walk into a brake store like ABS.
They'll have them.

Mini brake lines are 3/16" (4.75mm) OD... not 5.0mm.
Most fittings are 3/8 UNF but the tandem M/C and `FAM' valve on later cares have M10 threads.
