While installing a new JSPEC tranny, we crushed the hard clutch-line.

I have access to a Snap-On flare tool, and I have super-flexible Cunifer alloy brake-lines, but we are not sure what type of flare is used.

We assume it is a DIN/ISO bubble-flare, but can anyone confirm ?

Also, does anyone know the diameter/size ? We think it is 3/16 or 4.75mm.

Thanks in advance,

PS: the Cunifer brake lines do NOT corrode from the inside-out.

FWIW- it is a single-flare 45-degree, and 4.75mm (3/16) in diameter. Make sure you either re-use the stock fittings (if in good condition), or get the proper 45-degree single-flare fitting for a proper seal.

All is good.

Man, you are just flat hardcore, Neil .

I knew it couldn't be too obscure, I had a local hose shop make up a braided clutch line once for me and they did it with parts on the shelf. If the hose ends are easy, the rest should be as well.

they are double flare i used a single flare at first but it slowly leaked.

 

Are you sure ?

I showed it to another mechanic, and they said single flare.
And when I went to the parts store, the documentation for the brake lines said Japanese cars use single-flare . . .

It was so easy, I think I'll just make another one with a double flare, just in case . . .

if you look closely you can see where it doubles over itself, it's for creating a stronger crack resistant flare.

sorry for the dirt it's been sitting in my garage for a year.

 

Confirmed, it is a DOUBLE-FLARE.
