I think the Imperial and Metric brake pipe sizes are compatible, still seems to be called 3/16” I’ve certainly not bought a specific imperial or metric tool, just a brake pipe tool. Some of the joints are double flare so make sure your tool can do those.
Get a decent tool, the cheap ones are very hard to get proper flares. https://www.halfords.com/tools/hand-tools/automotive-tools/halfords-brake-pipe-flaring-tool-kit-187982.html This sort always seem to be poor. I had one similar to this for a while, it was very good as long as you didn’t need to take the pipe out and put it back in again, it wouldn’t always grip if you tried that. https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/hand-held-brake-pipe-flaring-tool I’ve got one of these now, very good but pricy. https://www.zoro.co.uk/shop/automotive/brake-and-clutch-tools/027250-hand-held-auto-brake-pipe-flaring-tool/p/ZT1120233X?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=dsa-generic&utm_content=automotive&targetid=dsa-900928623826&gclid=Cj0KCQjwl9GCBhDvARIsAFunhsklmb5SPdAjX_N1DdZrRwc8GGPvfEIkIuFKdOlc4H5fTOkSKJSqI7caAsz1EALw_wcB Jim From: Derek Clews Sent: Friday, March 19, 2021 4:28 PM To: Quantum Owners Club Cc: Derek Clews Subject: [Quantum Owners] Brake pipe flare Hi All, Can anyone confirm the Q Coupe and 2+2 (i.e. Fiesta Mk2) Brake system? I want to get a flaring tool and think it is using a 4.75 DIN ISO 3/16" Single Bubble Flare. Is that correct?
