Bubble flare brake lines advice

[Slewis182]

Brake lines... I'm having to replace some copper brake line that goes into HEL braded lines. From what i can see the lines are Bubble flared is this correct? If so does this corielate with the female fittings in the HEL braded lines.

In other words do I need to make up Bubble Flared ends or can I get away with making some Double Flares up instead?

Single din surely?

On the right

Aye the one on the right, I have a metric flaring kit which can do single and double Flares, to save me buying a new tool for the single din flare Im wondering if a double flare would fit into the female HEL braded line as apposed to the single din that's currently on the car

No a double will definitely not work. What tool is it? I just picked up a tool for 60 quid that can do 3/16, 5mm and 6mm single din and double flares

Turns out ur I purchased one only capable of a single and double flare. Can I ask what took you went for for the Din flare I've seen a few which look substantially better than the one I've currently got but want to make sure I get the correct size. It's for my 182 so 3/16th pipe
