Brake fitting question

Scott, I made new lines using american fittings. It was easier to coordinate with the steel braided flex lines. Now all the fittings and lines are standard like my mustangs.

Almost all the stock hard lines in our brakes use European style 'bubble-flairs' (also called ISO flairs). So the answer is, neither angle will be correct. And modifying stock hard lines is a little tricky because the diameters of the hard lines do not fit U.S. flairing tools- they will slip right through unmodified hold-down clamps; U.S. double-flair insert tools don't fit well, either. I'd suggest calling your favorite vendor for advice on what's available.

This is not the place to save money. Brake mods are a slippery slope to jump onto.... and if you're unsure of your capabilities, mistakes can be very serious in a 160 mph machine.

Before I go tearing into the shuttle valve for a little cleaning, for clarification should I expect ISO bubble flares on every connection? And if so, I have read both to "Never" reuse a bubble flare, and some stuff says yes you can?

The shuttle valve has a mixture of 3/8x24 Inverted Flares, 1/2x20 Inverted Flares and a 7/16x24 Inverted Flare. They are not Bubble Flares. Reuse is not an issue...

Thank you Scott.
