Default New brake lines

I am planning to replace my brake lines shortly.

Can someone confirm that the OD I need to look for is 3/16? Also what thickness should I try to get?

What about flaring and compression? Will I need any new fittings for the joints or can it all be done with the pipe, a flarer, and a bender?

Thanks

Yeh, use kunifer
Cupro Nickel Kunifer 3/16

Made a full set for my rebuild - I use it on all restorations, it's the best stuff by far.
A bench flair, along with a hand held for on the car helps. Take one off copy it and fit.
One at a time.

Hope that helps.
