Rear hard line flare type So there are about 10 threads on this and I've seen every answer. I'm trying to determine what flare type is used on the hardline on the rear axle, between the caliper and the chassis. I just put in a new 9" and I want to clean up the mickey mouse factory hardline. I've seen folks say bubble flare, inverted flare, and double flare... Has anyone done this before and know for certain what flare type is used? FWIW, this is a 4 channel car. Thanks in advance!

Correct, the hard lines that run along the axle tube to the hose that goes to the caliper is bubble flare 10mm x 1.0 thread into the hose.
The underbody lines that go to the flex hose(s) that loop to the rear end are bubble flare 12mm x 1.0 thread into the hose(s).
I converted all the OEM double flare at the backend of the car to -3 AN and used 3/16 stainless steel hard lines.
