Guys. I am new to the site and I have a 65 Fastback that I have owned for over 17 years.(Got it when I was 14). I haven't worked on the car for years due to way to many hours on the job, but I am now ready to get back on it. Problem is, a few years back I installed a versailles rearend in it and I can't seem to figure out how to hook up the rear brakes. I think I must have lost something, but I can't find what's missing to connect the flex line to the small hard line. I am going to attempt to attach 2 pictures that will hopefully show my dilemma. Hopefully someone can help me. Thanks!

some one did a big no no in the past there. they used a compression band fitting in place of a double flare fitting. go upto your local parts store and get a short chunk of brake line with the fittingson it and a union for it. then borrow a double flaring tool and put it in place where your short.
