I am plumbing my project for C4/5 corvette brakes and was using the standard fittings and double flare. I was talking to a builder and he said you need to use a metric bubble flare to attach your line to the caliber. Is there an adapter or someone who make a hose that can go from standard to metric to fit the caliber? Thanks Kevin

Those calipers take a metric banjo fitting not a bubble.. Unless you're using the factory brake hoses perhaps. But for the trouble, you can just get a banjo fitting with an AN fitting on it.
For adapters, Edelmann has a lot to choose from: http://www.plews-edelmann.com/hydraulic-brake-fittings/

I have used the standard 69 Camaro hose with the 3/8" banjo along with the 10mm banjo bolt and 10 mm copper washers with no problems. That way you can use a standard Inverted flare
