As a general rule, all early British brake plumbing used bubble flares for 
all female brass type fittings.  Easy to check - just look to see what the 
bottom of the inside of the fitting looks like.  I have never encountered 
one (early British) that needed an inverted flare, however that don't 
really mean all that much!
