Question 1990 240 DL Transmission line connection

Good morning, I am new here. My transmission line is corroded and begining to drip.The lines are available but the 2 connectors - 1239669 - are elusive. Any suggestions on finding the conectors or on how to remove existing lines from connectors I already have without having everything fall apart.
Many thanks,
Robert

I had to do this job on two of my 240s. The fittings are simple flare fittings. I think I ended up using steel brake line and fabricating the pieces myself. As far as the flare fittings, I just went to napa or ace hardware to find flare fittings with the correct thread. To do this though, I had to remove the old fittings and bring them with me to ensure proper fitment. I realize it's a littler harder if that is your only means of transportation.

make sure you use flare wrenches on those fittings. thats a special 5-sided wrench designed to get a good grip on said flare fittings.

kinda surprised Ace etc would have metric flare fittings.

The ace hardware near me has an extensive supply of different fittings both metric and standard. Not sure all ace hardware stores are that good. They seem to vary from place to place.

miner have extensive metric hardware, like nuts and bolts, but not plumbing fittings.
