1996 Ranger Master Cylinder Fitting size?

[Mbrooks420]

I am replacing the brake lines on a 96 Ranger 2wd 2.3 and need to figure out the fitting size that is on the master cylinder. The chain auto store guy(my Mom and Pop guy was closed ) gave me a 1/4 to 3/16 adapter for this. Seems to me that this fitting is fairly loose in the master cylinder. Seems like the right pitch, and does screw all the way in, but the fit makes me nervous. Anyone know off hand what the fitting size is? I have no flaring tool , so I can't just reuse the factory piece of line.

TTT, I assume if I am at the mercy of the chain guys I will be making a 3rd trip.

Last shot before I turn it over to the chain shop guys, who I sure will have nothing nut blank stares.

Well, my mom and pop guy knew what the fitting was before I set it down. He said "Ford Metric Bubble fitting, just a sec" Came back in a minute with the proper fitting and I was out $1.80 later. Gotta love auto store people that are helpful. I just wish they were open on Sundays
