Re: Bubble Flare

Re: Bubble Flare
Thanks to everyone who answered my question. I knew the Bubble Flare was different from the others because it required a different flaring cone all together and i had never seen one so that's the reason why I asked. Once again thanks for the response.

Re: Bubble Flare
A bit late but a bubble flare is a European standard and not common on US cars. Not sure its road legal in this country. Inverted double flare is stronger. Always match flares and fittings. Here's a chart.

Re: Bubble Flare
A word of caution.
If you are using a bubble flare, make sure the mating components are designed for a bubble flare. The flare has a different shape and will not fit into double flare connections. You cannot connect a bubble flare to a double flare seat. They have a built in crush surface which means that the flare can not be reused. You also can not connect a bubble flare to a double flare seat. |

Re: Bubble Flare
They've been around for a while on European cars at least. I'm working on an '81 Porsche 911, its brake system has all bubble flares.
