If the auto shop doesn't have metric unions could try a local hardware store. I think I got mine at Ace Hardware.
Otherwise you could get them online as it sounds like you'll have to get the bubble flare tool online as well. Attachment 73772

So the union (part # 2) is M12 on the front side and M10 on the rear side of the Union?

So as long as I reuse that fitting, I shouldn't need anything special?

My thought process was disconnect Line 3 from the backside of Union (2, then cut Line 3 somewhere along the straight section.

Then disconnect Line 6 from the backside of union (5) and again cut Line 5 along the straight section..

I was assuming I would reuse the Unions (2 & 5) - Bad assumption?
And then I would need only an M10 fitting on the front and back of the 'intermediate' lines I am creating..

Flare the cut ends of the lines and join with an M10 union..

Assuming i can find everything, this sound feasible?

Car has been down almost a week now, and my wife is not happy..
Have to try to get this down this weekend if at all possible..
