Please see the two brake pipe connectors in the photographs. I have labelled these 1 and 2 on the photos. As you can see the insides are different. What type of flare are 1 and 2 for?

Thanks for posting the picture. What are the names of the flares you have posted in your picture. Is the one on the left a "bubble flare" and the one on the right a "double flare"?

just go by the way they look. Concave for fig 1 and convex for fig 2.

So on Spyders picture, would you need this punch for making the one on the left:

and I guess the one on the right you would need this punch as well:

Is that correct?

First one is usually classed as a single and the other a double. As in needing two operations to create the flare.

Most ( all really ) brake flaring tools should already have both

So what about ISO bubble flares? I thought they were for my picture 1? I understand single and double, but I thought bubble was something else and would fit the style of connector I have labelled 1.
