Believe this. If you single-flare steel brake tubing and use automotive 45* fittings, the system will split and/or leak. Guaranfreakingtee. Steel tubing is double flared to provide strength, to prevent splitting when the fitting is tightened, and to allow the fitting to seal on the smooth OUTSIDE of the tubing.
However, stainless shouldn't be double flared. The tubing is too hard, and it is strong enough to seal on either a 37 or 45 with a single flare.Last edited by Henry Rifle; 03-07-2007 at 06:01 PM.
