 Are you sure you can get the lines with the British flare?  In Canada, I can
 get 3/8 - 24 fittings but they take a 3/8 spanner and don't have the British
 flare.  They work well enough however, and I usually cut the nut off and
 replace it with the long style British one. >>

Hey, time out.  Is there a difference between a British bubble flare and a 
British flare???  And what about the double flare?  Just what the hell do we 
have on our cars?    I didn't know the difference was in the nut--I thought 
it was in the flare itself.  Confusion reigns!

If'n I wanted to get a tool to install my own brake lines, what would I get?  
A bubble flare former, a double flare former, or a British flare former?

T'anks!
