have to  preface this with my usual "Dunno about cars, only airplanes," but 
I never  liked the double flare. You are bending the tubing back over itself 
with a  zero bend radius, just inviting the tube to crack there. Why invite  
failure?



hmmmm... exactly why I don't use single flare, they crack. I would suggest  
that the steel bundy tubing is perhaps more malleable than that used in  
aircraft? FWIW I never have cracking problems with automotive type bundy tubing.  
Just speculation on my part though. This is an interesting topic  nonetheless.
