brake pipe flare

noiseboymart · Sep 18, 2018

I am replacing all the rear brake pipes on my d1 200tdi. However i am struggling to identify what flares i need for the t-piece that fits to the rear diff bracket. Cant decide if its a single flare or din flare to go on the pipes that feed the calipers. Anyone on here know ?
Thanks

it would be single flare or should be though theres are double flare t pieces around you can tell by looking down the hole single has cone tapering away from you double a cone protruding up from the bottom

im presuming what people often call single is the first operation leaving a convex flare and double been the second operation making it concave

I thought they were single flares as James says, but i keep reading single flares shouldnt be used on brake pipes
