Hard brake line size?
 
I need to make a custom brake line, anyone know the stock hard brake line size? I can’t find it anywhere

I believe it is 3/16 inch. I stand corrected, but what I read (and I found nothing specific to the 986, instead the 911) leads me to believe that's the number.

You might contact some companies that sell hard brake lines and see if they can reference the actual number. :cheers:

It is 3/16 or 4.75MM.

A 986 and 996 share the braking system. A couple of differences in calipers/disks depending on models and I think the GT3 uses a different master cylinder, but I believe the piping is the same
engine firewall forward they are pretty much the same cars
