Hi Derek. Jim is absolutely spot on (as always ) with his advice. I tried one
of the first (multi sizes) link ones a few years back – utter rubbish, I’d have
done better using a centre punch ☹
The second, hand -held one is a direct copy of my (very old) Sykes-Pickavent
hand-held one and they wor
I think the Fiesta uses DIN/ISO - I have just been doing some saloon rear
lines and braided hoses and used a DIN tool (Trident). If you do need to
make the female concave type flares (ice cream cone shape) you will need
the SAE type tool. I am pretty sure the SAE convex male flare will seal OK
Ok, after some googleing, what i thought was a double flare is actually called
a bubble flare.
So, the Quantums have mostly bubble flares but there are some double flares on
there as well.

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 ver
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?
Cheers
Derek
