Patrick, there's really no reason to change those fittings ...... unless you just don't like the way the lines 'flow'. I didn't, so I used a brass 'T' with a nipple to connect the foot of the 'T' to the reservoir, and two 90's so that the lines flow parallel back to the cylinders ..... trimmed the plastic lines and used brass compression fittings on the tubing. Don't forget the insert inside the plastic tube.
I also switched the plastic lines from the passenger side to the pilot side from the plastic to hard aluminum ..... which required inverting the master cylinders. I'll have aluminum lines from the passenger master cylinders all the way to the lower end of the gear leg, and switch to a short piece of flex to the brake cylinder. Inverting the master cylinders meant welding a longer tab to the pedal. I just didn't like the plastic on the pressure side, and the way the plastic tubing looked like spaghetti tossed in there. I know, you can't see it when the airplane's done .... but I know what it looks like.

Install the F-271-N-04X02 Male Nylon Tee to the VA-107 Brake Reservoir as shown in Figure 3.
Connect the brake lines created on Page 38-6 to the F-7 71-N-04X02 Male Nylon Tee as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.
Kind regards and well wishes for the festive season to you all.

If you're talking about the Bonaco brake lines, Yup just an AN Tee fitting.

The Brake pedals were made by Paul Grimstad, (Control Approach) an RV10
builder who used to live in the Portland area. Paul recently moved to
Bend, Or. and I haven't heard from him for several months. The last
update I got was that he had made some improvements and was also working
on adapting the design to support RV, 6,7 & 9's. Its hard for me to see
where improvement could be made. The parts are CNC Machine cut and the
welding is done by a certified aircraft welder. I heard that he might
have been in talks with abn LSA mfg. to deliver pedals for their
production plane. There is at least one other builder (Les Kearny) who
has a set of the pedals. Paul usd to be active on this list ,but I
haven't heard or seen him in a while.
If you want to contact Paul direct, email me off line and I'll look for
the last contact info I had for him.
As to the size of the AN fitting, I believe it was an AN4, . what eve
size the threads/fittings for the Bonaco brake lines were is also the
size of the tee,

Patrick:
nice photo. Unfortunately I think you'll find that the brake fluid reservoir will have to be removed, to gain access when you rivet the ribs to the firewall.
