hi all
had to destroy the fitting ends to all the brake pipes on the old freelancer 1 cause very rusty and had to use angle grinder to cut them off.
Bought new flexible pipes etc. Gona have a crack at making my own copper brake pipes. heres the problem I've got the flaring kit and cause i haven't got an end to copy how do i know which type of flare to use:mad:

When I did mine a few months ago, the ends that went directly into the calipers and wheel cylinders were single conical flares. The ends that went into the flexible hoses were double conical flares.
For info., the nuts are M10 X 1.00mm pitch and the pipe is 3/16" o.d. Best to use a mini hand bender to get nice, tidy and tight proffesional looking bends AND....don't forget to put the nut on the tube before flaring it !!!!!
