Possibly that's your problem, Tom ... the TR3 does not use "bubble" flares.
All of the flares are concave, not convex.

Frankly, my suggestion would be to use DOT approved brake line, which is
triple-plated, double wall, seamless, mild steel tubing; and readily
available.  Or, if you want something even more corrosion-resistant, get
some "Cunifer" brake lines from Europe.  I think Moss & TRF also sell them,
pre-cut & flared for the TR3 (although I don't know offhand if you can buy
just one line instead of the set).
