I've always used the same size tubing on both retracts and brakes.

Vinny the jettronic is 3mm line, what are you using on the brakes ? Are you using the small clear BVM line ?

I found that the easiest solution is just to use a barbed straight-through fitting to join the two pieces of line together.

I couldn't find any straight thru air fittings that small, so I drilled through a pair of Robart air line restrictors with a number drill that just fit the open side of the fitting.
