Default C4 Brake line question...

My, (Fantastic), wife bought me a set of Snap On line wrenches and didn't know whether to get english or metric, so she took a guess and bought the english ones. Are the brake lines metric on the C4? I don't want to open the package to find out as there is a 50% chance I will have to exchange them. BTW, she also took today off work and we drove up to the Corvette museum . We missed the plant tour because she wore open toe shoes. Oh well. She treats me right on my birthday I will post pics soon.

Nearly every fasteners is metric on the Vette. I'd swap them for the metric set.

Darn that's a shame, well maybe next trip. I'd like to take the tour someday.
