Default Line lock question

can someone tell me the size fitting I will need for the MC on the front brake when installing a line lock. I plan to swing the original front line to the "out" o the line lock. And need to know what size that line is so I can get a new one to go from MC to linelock as well as fitting to adapt to 1/8 npt

They're metric, 12 mm nut I think and 6 mm tube.

I did the same thing on mine. Not sure if you can make it out in the picture.

Just a quick follow up question, my master cylinder has 2 outputs for the front, one on the side and one on the bottom, how did you plumb for both outlets? Mine is an 84

that's exactly what I planned to do, would you be so kind and tell me the size hardline you bought and those two adapters? Also I see you brought the original line straight to the line lock... I thought that wouldn't work because the line lock is 1/8 npt

Sorry, I'm not sure about the sizes. I had a buddy install the line-lock 10+ years ago.
