Brake line...

[ohv_]

What is this side of the brake/hydraulic line called? I need a longer line from the master cylinder to the T fitting.

Compression fitting, another line and a male to male compression coupler would be the easiest method.

Depending on how much more line is needed and what lengths are available you might want to get a female compression fitting end and cut the additional line down to fit.

I was thinking just getting a line the right length vs getting couplings I need about 4 more inches.

If you can match the threads (shouldn't be too difficult) you could swap for automotive hard line and just run the soft line to the hubs off of the T like provided.
I suggest this because they can be gotten in 4,6,8 and maybe 10ft lengths and cut to length just need to buy or borrow a flair tool.

It looks like motorcycle brake line which generally doesn't come in more than a 4ft sections afaik

This stuff is a headache, hope this helps:

I think what you are holding is an "AN3 female fitting" I could be wrong though. I spent way too much time trying to figure out all this brake fitting stuff, and opted to go the simplest, strongest route I could think of. If you want custom lengths, just use 3/16" IFF/IFM (International flare female/male), and get Cupronickel brake lines. Buy a 3/16 brake line flaring tool (this one is working great for me). The line is easy to bend by hand, and you can cut the line to size. If you need the line to flex for a suspension compenent or something, then just get a cheap section of rubber brake hose that has the same fitting type. They also make AN3 to IFF/IFM adapters if you want to keep those rubber hoses and create a lenghts. 3/16" Cupronickel with the double flare from the flaring tool is the way to go, just get a little metal tube cutter with cutting wheel to cut the line. Cupronickel is easy to bend by hand, no fancy tool needed. IFF/IFM just refers to the fitting type, aka, IFM has the threads on the outside, IFF has the threads on the inside. FIttings are cheap too. Per another user on here, I used this stuff on the male threads. I was, and still am, against compression fittings, when possible. Simply due to the easy ability to overtighten and strip stuff. Threaded lines (like what you are holding, and IFF/IFM/AN fittings can be repeatedly taken off/reinstalled. To a certain degree, compression fittings are one-time-use, Here is some good general info on the fitting types. And from my understanding AN3 and 3/16 iff/I'm have the same thread, but different flare angels. Iff/IFM for the win in my opinion. They sometimes are just called a "double-flare." Basically you squish the end of the line twice in a flaring tool with 2 sets in order to make your flare. Don't forget to slide on your fittings before doing this if it's the route you go.
Just to make it more confusing, I swapped my MCP compression fittings om the master/caliper to IFF, and found out the housings from MCP are NPT threads!

I went to a local hardware store in Burbank CA.

Took the ends off and made up a new line for me. 50 bucks.

Welcome to the hobby err ahh i mean occupation. Better like working on shyt!

nice score on the hose!
that looks like an old school hardware store! A REAL hardware store! That must be one of the last in the country.

Luky's Hardware Burbank

It is a cool shop, I try to go there first before Home Depot or Ace. However, on my Dodge, I had some axle parts and they didn't have what I needed like an odd castle nut but an awesome store to have around still.
