    the bore (hole up the middle) of it will tell what size of line its for and the fittings are the same an- number but it looks like an-3 to me is it turbo feed or brakes?

    -4 is 11mm OD at the outside of the threaded part.

    Looks like a -3.

    -3 AN flare bore size is 0.125", 0.171" for -4.

    Yeah, its a -3.

    Those Earls fittings are a pain in the arse to get. Power brakes dont have any, and nor do Outlaws (at least on Friday). Andy has the part number at AutoSport and might be getting some in. Im waiting for them to come from a mate in Canberra atm


    Edit: are you getting rid of those to put AN lines in?

    they're for my hydro handbrake. basically im using my wilwood lines for the handbrake and want to piss off that 'pigtail' spec hardline and put a banjo fitting with an AN fitting to go straight on the end of the banjo.
    anyway i'll elaberate in my build thread
