TeriAnn,
Thank you for answering my question!  I only plan to do this while the car is
up on a rack.

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.
