37 degree flares are the simplest thing in the world to make. Just get a tool from aircraft spruce and go to it. Amici, I need a source for pre-made generic-length single-flare (37-degree) bundy or s
Am I missing something? I thought single flares were considered to be too unreliable for brakes. I thought the US and UK standard flares were 45 degree double flares and bubble flares. Bubble flares
I bought the flaring tool from Aircraft Spruce and haven't had a leaky fitting since. Forget those old double flares. I think Pegasus may have one too, but my recollection is that its more expensive.
One of the very few aviation things that is cheaper than automotive. Or should I say auto racing? John _______________________________________________ Fot mailing list Fot@autox.team.net http://auto

You want a Parker Rolo-Flare tool. It works. You'll be better off in the long run being able to make and repair lines easily. -- mjb. http://fatchancegarage.com ______________________________________

I could certainly be wrong, it's happened once or twice before, but as I understand it the sleeve is intended to apply even compression to the flare without twisting it as happens with a single piece
When you guys use the AN nuts (great stuff, I wouldn't do it any other way) do you use single flairs or double flares? uncle jack -- No Virus Found In This Message Scanned at barracuda.geneseo.net __
When you guys use the AN nuts (great stuff, I wouldn't do it any other way) do you use single flairs or double flares? Double flare only. Pegasus tech advises that AN818/9 with 45 degree double flare

That's probably it. That's why I put the "Dunno" disclaimer in. The double flares would crack right around the outside of the overlapping bend for the "double" part of the flare. Maybe something was
The point with JIC/AN/37 degree single flares with tube nuts and tube sleeves is that the flare does not do the sealing. The tube sleeve applies stretch/push aginst the flare, sealing it to the mail

Perhaps you have to try these fittings and tools to appreciate this, but the 37 degree single flare is the coolest thing since sliced bread as far as I'm concerned. They take seconds to make up, they
