Brake flare q... (1 Viewer)

Is a double flare the same thing as an inverted flare?
Ill be converting my brake fittings on my rig to 3AN to keep the replacement brake lines redily available.
However, going through Summit racing's fittings, the have INVERTED flares, but Im not seeing "DOUBLE" flares.

Thanks.

Yes inverted flare = double flare

Lol... Thanks mace!
I was looking up each individually, but not together.
Stopped at summit and got the adapters yesterday for use with SS brake lines.
I was gonna use standard rubber lines, but they don't have em long enough for the rear.

I should also note that there are multiple types of double flares. The most common two are inverted and bubble. I believe most of the tools that do double flare are capable of both types.

Vw's are bubble flare. You want inverted for everything

So I got the inverted flare adapters from summit. Not the bubble flare. I did see those two types.
