The flair anchors OK but the fittings are joined by just a couple 
threads.  The British male thread has a long smooth nose to help align 
the threads whereas the US fittings has a short nose & threads.  The UK 
make fitting flair is almost seated before the threads are engaged.

For the sake of those around your vehicle, please don't mix brake 
fitting standards.  Anyone should be freely entitled to pursue their own 
Darwin award as long as they leave bystanders out of their pursuit.
