TR4/4A What Flare to put on a TR4 Brake Line

While installing a Left rear brake line to the splitter on my 63 TR4, the brake line fitting got cross threaded. I have extra fittings from the kit I bought, so that's not an issue. The problem is once I cut off the end of the tube, what flare to put on. Moss specifically say the the SAE flare is nor compatible with the Universal flares currently in use. This is the original splitter. What flare do I use?

The TR4 and 4A use a mix of standard 45-degree double flares and Girling bubble flares. I don't remember precisely what is used in that tee, but it seems that it would have to be the Girling flare.
