Brake line fittings

Well my rear passenger side brake cylander sprung a leak. I put the new cylander on and the threads on the fitting need to be repaired a little. Im bringing home my die set from work tomorrow to fix it. Wat size is the fitting on my brake line?

I've never had to retap the brake line threads. Generally if they get torn up, I'll cut the flare off the end of the line, put a new fitting on, and re-flare it. This is usually a problem when someone uses an open-end wrench instead of a line wrench on them and rounds off the hex. If you don't have a flare tool I don't see any problem with rethreading the fitting.....I don't know the thread size though.
