Brake pipe flaring kit.

Can anyone recommend a decent Metric double flare (BMW Style end flare) kit?

Cheers gents.

Or are the BMW pipes finished with a bubble Flare?

Yep, Bubble flare is correct. Check out RTSAUTO.com for instructions.

Brilliant! Thank you

The second one is the same as I've got.

They are a very good tool.

Does it mark the pipe at all?

I wont be using steel pipe so I think this will last for a full set of flares?

[maxfield]

Does leave very little marks on the pipe but unless your an inch away you wouldn't notice.

I take it you'll be using kunifer?

Had my tool well over a year now and don't plenty of flares and they're still perfect.

Cool cool, im using a hard anodised aluminium pipe, never thought about Kunifer!

You would be better off with tool that does both types of brake pipe flare( concave and convex . op1 and op2) Then You could do both types of brake pipe end to fit 99.9% of cars.

True, but the double flare is not the same as a bubble flare and wont work, I have used these hand held ones before and they didn't do the flare anywhere near as nice as the BMW factory pipes.

I think I'm going to play it safe and go for the bubble flare in my second link.

You could always put some tape around the pipe stop it marking it.
