Hard Brake line nut question


Get2theBimmah

Recommended Posts

I need to replace my hard brake line and was wondering if you can help me identify the size and flaring of my line. In doing some research about it, I have found that the line is 3/16 and there are two types of flaring - double or bubble. I don't know how to tell the difference without taking line out or in what years it varied. Is there any way to tell by this picture? Thanks

......well the only wrench you should attempt

to use is a flare-nut wrench - and

i'll let someone else in the class

give you the ins/outs of pipe-end flares

(hint) look in " Site Search " upper right

corner of this site - "brake line flare"

I will be doing this with a couple of people who know how to flare. We are going to be doing this on a sunday when the parts store is closed so I wanted to try to narrow down the specific information before I get to the garage so I can come with the proper parts. Thanks for the tip, I've been searching the forums instead of using the site search. Appreciate it.

Life learned lesson from my grandfather: "never plumb on a sunday"

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
