Default Problem with new brake line

First they send me the wrong color then the 2nd one, bolts don't fit, banjo fittings on end of lines are too small and they want to know what size they are. Aren't they supposed to know this? The manual has part numbers but no size, does anyone know the size of the bolts and threads off hand?

First, who is they?

Second, Year & model?

I think the size is 3/8-24, but I'm not sure if its the same for all the models.

I am having a similar issue. First brake line was correct color and length, but the banjo fittings were different than the OEM. Also banjo bolts were wrong length and thread pitch. The second attempt was wrong color, correct length and correct banjo fittings. Banjo bolts were wrong again. Currently waiting on correct color, length and fitting line to arrive. I will probably just use OEM bolts with new copper crush washers. I ordered all my parts from Carlini. They apparently outsource lines and cables to Streamline Industries. Carlini rep has been helpful, but apparently Streamline has some issues with being able to find correct fittings and fasteners for a 2015 FLS, w/o ABS. I was told by Carlini rep that maybe there was a change during that model year. I don't know...
