Stainless steel brake lines Question
So I have upgraded my brakes to C6 Z06 brakes and when putting on the brake lines there is a nipple from the hard line that goes into the stainless steel brake lines. But the C6 lines won’t work. So I am assuming I just use C5 stainless steel brake lines?? Thank you in advance

Same thing happened to me! I wound up reusing my C5 SS lines - which were almost identical in length. My story (with pics of the brake lines) here...

From your picture it appears to me that the left is a bubble flare (metric) and the right is a double flare (SAE). You could use the old hoses, or change the nut and re flare the hard line to use the new hoses.
