ISO flare not double flare.

I did this repair on my X about 2 years ago. You can buy all three parts for about $50, the tools for about $40 and the pressure bleeder for about $50-60.

There are a pair of fittings right below the left hand driver seat and about 7-9' of line from there to the fittings at the rear left.

I posted my method to exactly copy three existing 11 or so bends in the current pipe. And also how to greatly improve the ISO (bubble) flare tool that is not completely finished from the factory.

If you are replacing the line from fitting to fitting, yes you will do a DIN ISO flare on the replacement line, but if you are splicing into an existing line, a double flare will be better because double flare fittings are more abundant in the USA since most American cars still use the double flare for brake lines.
