The adapter is BR550 (reminds me of Hee-Haw if anyone gets that one. :-) I read the brake hose 88466 would be what would be needed since it is shorter and I found it has a 3/8" inverted flare fitting. Awesome, no adapter!! Got them installed last night after paying around $13 ea at Autozone. 88466 is 4" shorter than the hose that came with the kit and I had to file out the hose frame hole to fit and secure the fitting. I hope it is long enough, an inch or two longer would have made it just right.
