Mark,
I think we call the brake line flares by different words over here. All I
know is that for one type of flare you put the pipe end through the flare
once and for the other type twice. You either get a concave or convex flare.
Most Spridget stuff is convex (possibly this is what you call a bubble
flare).
I forget where I got my tubing from but remind me in the week (when I am less
busy) and I will try and find out (it may have been Think Automotive Nr
Heathrow Airport). Check the legality of copper nickel tubing in your state
first though.
I got BRASS brake unions (3/16") from a company called Europa Specialist
spares here in England - they don't/didn't have a web site - do you want a
phone number? I think brake unions is what you call compression nuts.
The price I paid a year ago almost to the day, was £2.94 for a pack of ten.
Lots of suppliers do them but this price was the best by a mile. You can of
course get steel unions but I prefer brass for brake line fittings because it
doesn't corrode and in my relative ignorance I think it may seal better than
steel.
