The axle hard line plumbing for rear disc works like this:

From the top of the differential, at the hose connection from the frame, the thread on the center fittings is 3/16 inverted flare--standard stuff.

At the outer end of each line, where it connects to the caliper hose, the fitting thread is an M10 x 1.0 ISO bubble (European) flare.

If you use the lines obtained from AZ, you will need to cut the line to proper length once you've got it shaped correctly, then get the metric fittings and create the proper flare for the outer connections. Actually, you may have to do the cut & flare and THEN bend the line to final shape.

The better way might be to find M10x1.0 ISO bubble straight lines (they are available) and work from the caliper hose connection back to the center--then create the inverted flare 3/16" connections for the center T-block using conventional flaring tools and finish bending the lines to fit at that point.

Unless it's a total bust financially, the Classic Tube lines are the way to go, just as Lance and others suggest. About $45 in stainless, with gravel guard....well worth it.
