Default Braided lines from master cylinder

Would like to run braided stainless lines from the master cylinder to the ABS unit. Gets very confusing trying to piece it all together. I dont really know for sure what the sizes are. Would anyone know which fittings/hose size/adapters????? I would need? No one just makes a kit for this. Info or part numbers would be helpful.
Thanks, RonO
Edit: '97 Vette'

I think the factory had a short (six inch) braided section in the middle of the hard lines. That is the way my 01 Z06 is made, I don't know about other years. The problem I had when trying to install a Line-Lock was I could never find a fitting that fit the rear port on the master cylinder. The best I remember it was 12mm x 1.5mm bubble flare. I found all kinds of fitting that would fit the front port which was a finer thread, but nothing for the course thread rear port. The factory line size is 6mm which is just under the US standard 1/4" lines.
