Line and fitting sizes

Hi all.
Im doing a LS brake upgrade on my 72 Cutlass.
I thought i had everything covered but when i was starting on the lines i discovered that the main brakeline from the distribution block to the Axel hose is a bigger line.. lol.. well i should have looked before, but...

Since the lines are in good shape and im using a adjustable wilwood proportioning valve I want to use an adapter from the normal 3/16 line to the 1/4 (?) line and roule out the frame mounted distribution block near the manifold.

The question is what type of adapter will i need?? I have no idea of the fitting size on the bigger line.

Thanks!

Yes, the front-to-rear line is 1/4". Google inverted flare adapter fitting for the right part. Specifically, you want "IFF to IFM" adapters (inverted flare-female to inverted flare-male).
