Car Details:'67 camaro coupe, 5.7 V8, Blue, left hand drive.
This car was built by GM in Antwerp, Belgium. I believe the cars came partly pre assembled from the US and were finished in Belgium.
It was originally white with a straight 6 (which i have stored in Belgium) but had a heavy duty V8 fitted when i bought it. This engine has since been replaced by a 350cui, 250 hp crate engine.
Location:North Yorkshire
i have the first gen and no experience with third gen but there are only a few common brake line sizes. I am pretty sure it will be 1/4".

cheers mate(s) when i finally got the pipe off and took it into my local motor factors it was indeed 1/4",
had to re-use the master cylinder connector as they did'nt have one that big but it was servicable and the rear end connector was of a smaller size and they had that in stock,all in all it only cost £8.00 which i thought was very reasonable as it was over 12 foot long,so thanks for your help :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
