Kent, thanks!
My '60 TR3A is TS71318L and I don't remember any (just one) bubble flare
originally on it. However, I've now 'molested' it and since I just now
understand what I've been misunderstanding about different flare types
terminology.
I remember there is just one odd metric bolt (although I don't remember where)
somewhere, but I don't think I knew about one odd flare type anywhere. Does
someone on the list remember where the odd flare or odd nut is?
I am also wondering at what point the switch was made from using 'double
flares' to 'bubble flares' was made?????????????( it might be a TR4
phenomena).
And while Triumph might never have done this, I am wondering if a
bubble-flared clutch line, can be converted to a 'double-flare'??????????????
(it looks doable with a heavy duty flaring tool?)
---------------------------------------
Paul, I did have one bubble flare but I can't remember where. Most are double
flares and are on the brake or clutch. It is a flare turned in on itself.
Most flaring tools have the capibility to do double flares. It is a two step
operation.
