If i read this correctly you have an issue with the inverted flair end on the hard line??? That is correct and an adapter and or a tubing cutter a new line fitting and flaring it and bingo you are dun. The left side has a bigger inverted flare nut.

Well the Turbo coupe has different lines from left to right of course most cars do. But the fittings are different. The right side has a bigger inverted flair fitting that takes a standard 3/16 line. The drivers side has a smaller inverted flair fitting that also takes a 3/16 line. This is very common on cars that for example have ABS controllers. They make the fittings different so they dont get mixed up!!!

no part #...they opened a drawer behind the counter, and pulled out 2 for me.. I would assume any parts place would have those fittings. I like to keep things like that on hand for obvious reasons

Daminc is that not a step up inverted flair adapter??? It looks like it and that is what i am talking about!!! Been their many times and i just installed the correct fitting and re-flared the hard line.  But adapters  work. Hard line ends and adapters are available at NAPA. I thought i explained it back a couple of posts!!
