Jim - one possibility: go to a local auto parts dealer that sells
"Haynes Repair Manuals" and get a copy for your car. The section labeled
"hoses & lines, inspection and replacement" should provide useful
data.

A 3/16" (0.191") brake line on my Honda rusted through from the

What should I watch for when I splice in a repair section with
double-lap flare fittings? Advice on the Net is contradictory and not
too helpful.
