Brake line flare

[mattylondon]

I can't find a definite answer on the web, so can anyone confirm what I suspect that Audi / VW use the 4.75mm DIN bubble flare for the brake lines?

I need to fab the short line from the hose to the caliper, as highlighted.

I use standard 3/16" pipe with M10x1 fittings and an off-the-shelf double flare tool. I can't say for certain that's '4.75mm DIN', but whatever is on the car is nothing unusual

I was looking at these tools to make the flare, each are different spec of either SAE or DIN

I could get a tool that makes all flares, but would have limited use with me. I can't think the Germans would use the American SAE so I'll go for DIN as it is the Deutsches Institut fur Normung after all

Oh I see what you mean now Its the DIN one

Great! Thanks for confirming
