TVR used two different flares on the car. One is the standard double flare
that we are used to the other is the ISO flare. You need a special tool to
do this one or maybe your local brake shop can lend you the tool. If not I
bought the kit from The Eastwood Co. I hope you changed over to silicone
fluid so that you don't damage your paint work.

Subject: Brake pipe flaring
So Matt.. your boared with no TVR email hu. <G>
I have a soar butt right now from kicking myself. I did not do a pressure
test
to the brake lines before I put the body on my 2500M ! Ya, I have a brake
fluid leak at the Differantial switch thingamajig where all the lines
distribute to the wheels, right under the body where I can't get to it !!!!
I pulled off the shroud (?) the fan uses and managed to pull it out.
My question is this. I pulled out the offending brake line and noticed that
the end of the pipe (Flare) looks like the end of a trumpet, flared out.
Should it not be the shape of a cone, rounded over to mate with the "Dish"
shape in side the thingamajig ? Could this be my problem ?
Thanks, Pat
