Master Cylinder Brake Line size/thread?

This is driving me nuts. I have a B&M line lock and I cant find the Master Cylinder fitting thread size anywhere.. the standard size is too fine... these are more coarse thread.

2010 Camaro LS3

I know I could spend $200 on a kit that has it but $50 for the lock and $10 in fittings should be all I really need.. I know the line lock is 1/8 npt but what is the OEM master cyl output?

any help would be appreciated

I know this is an old thread but if anyone stumbles across this... the correct size is m12x1.5 inverted flare. these fittings are damn near impossible to find at your local parts store, so order some 6mm copper nickel brake line and reuse your factory ends

Well now it’s even older. Anyway, I’m not sure it is M12x1.5.
I’ve tried both with a tap (M12) in the master cylinder and a die on the fitting.
The pitch is correct, 1,5mm/thread but the diameter is not correct. M12 is 12mm and the stock Camaro fitting is around 11.6mm.
I can’t get the tap more than 1.5 turns into the cylinder and the same with the die on the fitting, around 1.5 turns.
Any new info regarding this?

Anybody know the size of the fitting going into the master cylinder? I installed a line lock and the supplied brake line keeps leaking. Figured I’d just swap it out for a braided line
