Brake Line Fitting Question (97' 2.3L)

I put in all new brake lines, using the polymer coated ones from NAPA, and I connected most of it, unfortunately, I think I got the wrong fitting to connect to the master cylinder, and may have stripped the hole there. This has made me somewhat concerned about the other fittings (haven't tightened everything yet) and I wanted to see if anyone knows the size fittings I should have, so that I make sure I don't damage anything else.

97 Ranger, 2.3L 4 Cylinder

I currently have the 3/16 standard US fitting line (that's what the tag said), what are the fittings for these lines:

Master Cylinder to Driver Side Brake Hose
Driver's side to Passenger's side

Master Cylinder - the ABS controller (I think that's what it is)
ABS controller to the Rear brake hose
Rear Brake hose to Rear wheel (L/R)

I figure if I need to, I can get the adapters and save myself the potential damage of making things fit, whether they want to or not!

If anyone knows, it would be a tremendous help!

also make sure you have the right flare on the end of the lines.

I think I found it out, but if you want to confirm/refute what I've discovered...here's what I've found out

Master Cylinder to Driver's Side: (3/16" Brake Line) M10, 1.0 adapter to 3/8" fitting to the brake line, then 3/8" fitting to the Driver's Side brake hose.

Driver's to Passenger's is the 3/8" fitting on both sides.

on my 94 its 3/8ths fitting from the MC, to the 3/16's line down to the drivers brake hose of which all the fittings from there are 3/16ths'

they prolly didnt change much so you sound spot on.

You can get the M12s from NAPA. You might have to look up the part number for them as they don't tend to be too helpful.
