OK, having just replaced the passenger side, it goes a little like
this:
The "bubble" line fitting goes into the side of a piston with a flat
bottom. The "flare" line fitting goes into the side of a piston with a
small extension coming from inside the opening. You'll know what I
mean when you look at it. The line from the block to the caliper is
flared, the line between pistons is bubbled.

P.S.: Give me another hour and the car will be roadworthy again!
Woohoo!
