I need to replace part my brake line, it's a little section that goes from my wheel cylinder and hooks into a rubber line. These are the only ones I can find, will they fit my car?

In this case, here is what I suggest: Take the old brake line to a parts store and let them see the line diameter and fitting sizes. That is the biggest concern.Here are videos to help you make your own line or replace the brake flex hose.

The process is the same in most cases.

Next, they will have a straight steel brake line that you can purchase by length. Get one long enough and then using a pipe bender (very cheap), bend the turns you need into the new line without getting a kink or pinch in the line.

The pics you attached may be a direct fit. However, the service manuals don't tell the specifics such as fitting size and thread pitch. I hope you understand.

Let me know if that helps or if you have other questions.
