1989 Chevrolet Corvette: Fittings

The connections that secure the brake line to the brake system are called fittings, and the size and type will be specific to the make of your [VEHICLE]. When replacing brake lines, these connections will need to fit with the area of installation but also be crafted from an appropriate material.
