Good stuff.

See my photo album from when I did mine. I figured out a way to make a perfect clone of the previous line.

Put the old one in the 1/4 bender slot. Put the new in the 3/16. Tape as you go along. See the pics.

One thing I'll add: get some crow foot flare sockets! Get a branded set not harbor fright [sic]. Get both metric and sae. Often rust changes the size enough to matter and if I remember correctly and oddly enough, the factory 10mm fittings used a 7/16 and 5/8" wrench so strange.
