Can get barrell style anywhere.who has cone type?
RE: Ferrules - steve welte - 11-22-2017
Order them from Reikens Racing. they are .80 each. Napa charges a fortune. I usually get a dozen at a time.

Steve C, which type were you looking for? The "barrel" type -

That hat type with the nut that has a flat bottom is highly recommended for brakes. Buy your brake line from a supplier like Comet, there's some Chinese junk around that is no good .

Eaton long nut PN 1611X3 (for 3/16 nylon tube)
Eaton sleeve PN 601X3 " " " "
The olive ferrules are for copper tube.
NAPA carries Eaton fittings.
