Default What size brake fittings?

Posted this in the Tech section, but not a lot of traffic over there. I need to make my own front brake line. Does anyone know what size the top and bottom banjo bolts and fittings are? I am looking at 10mm, 12mm, 3/8", and 7/16". The bike is an '07 Dyna Street Bob. I found a line that is 50" with two #3 assy's on the ends, so I just need to buy fittings that will match my master cylinder and caliper. Thanks.

The master cylinder banjo bolt is a 7/16"-24 and the fitting is a 12mm. The caliper banjo bolt is a 3/8"-24 and the fitting is a 10mm.
7/16"/12mm and&nbsp\\;3/8"/10mm are sometimes used interchangably, so it can be confusing.&nbsp\\;

Murphdog thanks! I was able to order what I needed off of that info. You are right it is the metric/SAE confusion that had me stalled.

I found a complete line from Jireh Cycles for $39. It is a black Russel replacement for an 80's era WG and FXSTC. 52" long with a 12mm or 7/16" 35deg banjo at the top end and a 10mm or 3/8" 90deg banjo at the bottom. Jireh part number is 49-227.&nbsp\\;

The throttle/idle and clutch cables they sent me worked well and arrived in about 5 days, so I should have this one on by the weekend. Now I need to read up on replacing and bleeding the front line. I remember seeing some crazy description with an empty water bottle and some tube, looked like an IV for your bike....
