Brake Line Flare Questions.

Is a double flare the same as an inverted flare?
If a flare is not specified, is it a double flare?

here's the thing, i need to do a lot of brake line adapting, so my plan was this.

from my master cylinder, get a 10x1.25mm inverted flare to -3an adapter, go to Earl's Speed Flex Hose, and then to a -3an to 10x1.0mm inverted flare, then go to my SS lines that i already have.

the problem is, if you look here you see that they have the 1.25mm in inverted flare, and not the 1.0mm in inverted flare. But farther down the page, for the "tubing adapters" they do list a 10x1.0mm inverted flare.

this brake swap project is ******* with my sanity, so if you need any clarification on anything i said, feel free to ask, cause i may not be sane, also due to other things (female) and overall dissatisfaction w/ my situiation in life.

ugh, thanks for any help you guys.

I feel the pain but IMHO, its easier to just cut the line, replace the SA fitting with FB and flare it. Just my $0.02.
