Re: brake line flanges

Al,
   Unless there is some bizarre Whitworth or Pozidrive flare that those 
sneaky Brits have concocted solely for the purpose of thwarting us 
Yanks, (and I wouldn't put it past them!!! ) it should fall into only 
one of three categories I know of:  A 45Deg. flare, a 37Deg. flare or an 
ISO flare.  The 45 flare is usualy a double flare, unless it is in 
stainless tube, in which case a single 45 is all that is found.  The 37 
flare is used for hooking up to AN style connects, which are common on 
race cars or specialy modified cars.  I believe the 37 is just a single 
flare (correct me if I'm wrong).  The ISO flare, which I think is on the 
MGB, looks more like a bump, or a double flare that somebody didn't 
finish folding the second flare back on itself
  
   Does your flare (the one you made) look like a perfect double-wall 
cone, while the one on the car look more like a bump?   If so, you have 
made a proper 45deg flare, but the car wants an ISO.  I dont know if the 
ISO can be made on the double flare tool or not.  Anyone know?  Do a web 
search on "ISO flare" and see what you get.  I don't ever recall seeing 
an ISO flare tool, though.
Let us know waht you find.
