Thanks to all who offered advise and part numbers. I want to follow up on a 
couple things now: 

We tried to find the correct fittings but everything we tried didn't seem to 
make a good feeling fit in the rear cylinder we had with us. Now that I have 
been told the exact part from NAPA that works (a place we didn't go to as they 
were closed already by that time) I will try to make my own. 

As far as making my own...

Some people said "buy from a vendor"; The whole reason for trying to make my 
own is two fold. 

One: I really cannot afford to buy the lines from a vendor right now. 

And Two: For me personally, I WANT to learn how to do this. A lot of you take 
for granted the knowledge you have to do this stuff yourselves. I never learned 
how to do stuff like this when I was younger. The opportunity was there to 
learn SOME of it, but for reasons better left unsaid, I didn't take advantage. 

I thank those of you who have offered advice, tips, hints, knowledge, etc. 
Beers and a home cooked meal on me, a semi-retired chef, to any and all who are 
ever in my neck of the woods.

OK, I am off my soap box now and will return to the shop to start to clean up 
some used brake parts (that I just pulled off of the usable part car) to 
determine usability. 

Sorry for the band width. 

PEACE :-)
