Replacing driver side brake line and have larger fittings on the master cylinder than on the rear, the aftermarket lines have the smaller size on both ends.
Is ther an adapter I can pue on or is my onlt option to cut and reflare it with my old fitting? It is a bubble flare wich Ican't find a tool to do 3/16" lines.

You may be able to find an adapter. If not, you need to cut and reflair it. And yes, it needs to be double flaired.
