skauldy Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Guys, Making up new lines from my disco axles. I have no pipe to compare and wonder what type of flare is on the copper pipe. Is it the same as a defender. Thanks, Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim2809 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 There is 2 types of flare. Male and female so to speak. Ive never seen a flairing kit that does not do both. If its a male union its usually the male (sort of ball shaped) and if female union it has a dished type of flare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim2809 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 The only thing that really changed over the years is the imperial to metric fittings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 You absolutely MUST replace pipe ends like for like. Male fittings typically have mushroom pipe ends and female fittings have trumpet pipe ends. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
