Also checked to make sure hose is DOT approved. [ATTACH]
As an engineer, I would tend to agree, but went ahead and used my Milwaukee sharpie on the tube end flare. Tightened it up in the brass tee, but...

Found these old HAMB threads when searching for if 37 degree fittings will seal against 45 degree fittings. Folks say they have used them and they...
Did some more digging on the cylinder for the handbrake. Found this on the Wilwood site. [ATTACH] This fitting should work for the outlet....
Yes, I went to them specifically because when I searched for a company to make brake hoses, their name popped up and reference was made to making...
So, going back to the first issue I posted about needing to connect one end of the hose(s) to my brass tee. For clarification, here are the specs...

Stopped at the hydraulics shop. Ended up cutting off the crimped fittings with the female flare and replaced them with another crimped fitting...
Wow! That sure beats my Rigid tool. Haha! Thanks for the offer. Maybe next time I’m going to Montreal we can arrange something. I’ll bring the...
Thanks Marc. Might need to borrow your flaring tool. The tech at the hydraulic shop where I just had my hoses re-crimped and he said for...
Heading back into town to see if I can sort out these issues with the brake fittings. Created this thread about the fitting issue....

This will fit the inlet to the handbrake cylinder, but gives me a male AN -3 (3/16 tube). Means I now need an AN flaring tool. [ATTACH]
I’m using 3/16” tube, but this style of fitting is likely what I need for inlet of the handbrake cylinder.
So, based on the fact that the 7/16” tube fitting I bought as part of that pack is 7/16” - 24, which matches the thread pitch for SAE inverted...
Found this which is somewhat helpful. [ATTACH]
I have another issue with the handbrake cylinder I purchased off of Amazon. It’s a Wilwood knock-off, and there are no specs/details given for the...
Interesting. This was kind of the feeling I was getting as far as AN was concerned. Curious as to why folks use AN if they’re not DOT approved....
For sure. I won’t be taking any chances. Will ensure I know if fittings are 37 or 45 degree. I went with customs hoses to ensure I was getting...
Got the other hose tab welded in place as well as the tee. Even though the two hoses are the same length, and the weld tabs in the same respective...
I know, but if it’s a 45 fitting, it won’t work. Not sure why there aren’t any 45 degree ones if that’s what’s used on vehicles, or are they all...
Got the first tab welded onto the front axle. Had the scare of my life as I almost tipped backwards coming up the steps from my basement workshop...
Damn! Gives me the shivers thinking about algebra. Haha! The problem/solution? today is that Google AI is your first response typically. I tried...
Told them to use 45 degree, but like I said in my previously reply, who knows for sure. I have a typical 45 degree Rigid flaring tool and not an...
I’ll double check with them, but from my understanding, AN are typically a speciality type fitting not used commercially in vehicles. Could it be...
I have a Fairview (Canadian) catalogue which I downloaded. Couldn’t find anything, but Summit might have a fitting, however they are mostly AN (37...
I think so. Haha! Seems I’ll have to cut off the the end in question and have them crimp on another inverted flare end.
Had hoses custom made for my speedster build. They’re all for 3/16” tube. They all have the SAE inverted 45 degree fixed female that will be...
