Need help with brake lines - ERA
Had a little problem the other day, the car slipped off the jackstands in the front as I was lowering the back. Luckily the only damage was a squished brake line. I thought no biggie until I saw this fitting on the master cylinder end (Tilton). I'm not sure how to make the flare, is it just the first step of a double flare or something special? I'm hoping this is nothing tragic because we were planning to drive the car to Road America on the 19th....
Thanks, Chuck http://www.chuckbrandt.com/masterend.jpg |
That looks like an iso flare, used on foreign and late model american cars. They sell a special tool to flare the line but you can remove the whole line and match it up at a quality auto parts store. The 1st step of a double flare will not work.

The thread is 3/8-24 with a bubble flare. For the front line to the junction, we modify a Cant Kink 340MR by cutting it in half and adding a standard double flare to the other end. Since not many people can make a good bubble flare, that's what I would recommend to you - only you don't have to make them in pairs. ;)

Thanks Bob,
That seems like a good plan. I can do that. Best regards, and happy 4th to the ERA gang. Chuck |
