Finished making some rear brake lines for the BJ7 and assumed the flare ends were bubble. However, when compared to the original and a stainless steel replacement, it doesn't match. Looks double inverse is the correct flare end. BTW, the SS set is too hard a material and needs to be overtightening to seal. Trying Cunifer brake line from Fedhill. See pics and let me know what you think. Thanks all.

Double flair is correct. When I redid my brake lines, I used galvanized steel from the auto parts store and cut to length and flared.

I use the flaring tool kit (007) and brake line fittings from Federal Hill. Used AGS 25 foot steel coil bought from Napa. Straightened the line with Kwik UK pipe straightener. I see that AGS sells same/similar straighteners and they are currently half price. AGS also sells a nice tool for dressing the ends of the line before flaring.
Thank you for confirming double flare. Looked into straightener tool for the coiled 3/16 in. pipe but experimented with manually straightening 20 to 40 inch runs with good results. The left and right rear brake lines on the BJ 7 follow a somewhat tortured and twisty path, so sort of straight is fine. Perhaps with longer runs a dedicated pipe straightening tool would be worth the investment. Gonzo
