Fuel/Brake line Double Flares question...

are they AN(Army-Navy 37degree) or were they late enough that they are the SAE (45 degree)... Curious because I know the flaring tool I have is a 45 degree and if the connections are 37 I'll obviously get leaks...

The tool you have will work fine as long as it makes good flares.

They are SAE 45 degree. There are tools for both the Aviation MS 37 degree and the SAE 45 degree. You don't mix and match.

Yep I know not to mix or match hence the question... I didn't know whether they were 45 degrees and that answers that question... because I have a 45 degree flaring tool...

and yes it's a quality flare tool... Not like one of those that you get at harbor freight it's more inline with what would come off of the Snap on truck... Makes beautiful flares and also helps me make barbed ends as well...

I appreciate it guys I knew you would know...
