I believe the fittings that go into the brake master cylinder are 10mm inverted flares. I have a top mount turbo and to make things worse, I put in a Z32 17/16 brake master cylinder, making clearance even tighter. It's almost impossible making the lines bend so sharply without kinking ... are there 90 degree fittings available for the MC so the lines are as far away from the turbo downpipe as possible?

There are local shops in any town that can make 90degree hardlines for you.

Local places here are called olympic Brake Supply, Southside Brake & clutch, etc.. these are not Midas brake & muffler type shops but rather, brake, clutch, friction parts warehouses. These would be the places that supply local franchise parts houses and also the people to call for a hard to find brake parts application.

There are a few in every town, it just takes some searching the phone book and calling around. A large NAPA in town even has such capabilities.
