Default Hard brake line??

Anyone know if you can replace the hard line that runs to the master cylinder to the rear end with that fleet tubing? And if so what size to get. I have a 97 cherokee.

3/16 it is. i'm not sure what fleet tubing is, but i replace brake lines all the time, and when i do i make my own from bulk 3/16 brake line, comes in a roll. for my own i use stainless steel when i have time or money to get it. not a lot more expensive, little harder to bend.

Best way to get right size is take a sample to the parts store and match it up.

Can anyone confirm if a 99 Cherokee uses double flare fittings and if so, what size fitting?
