Hi guys,
Having to make new copper brake lines on my mk2 xr2 just on the rears from flexi hose to wheel cylinder.
I've bought a brake pipe flaring kit I'm awaiting the delivery.
I'm just wondering what type of flare do I use on the male and female connectors?
Single flare, double flare, bubble flare etc lol
Thanks

And always make the longest pipe first, then if you get it wrong length or miss the nut off, you can cut it down and use the pipe for a shorter piece

one other big tip - depending on the kit that you get.. if running long pipes run the length first, clipping it in along the way...
Then you dont have it to long and have a bit on the exhaust pipe like a friends car did after coming out of a garage...
