source for brass brake like adapters?

1/8-27 NTP to 10mm x 1mm inverted flare ??

I want to add a Wilwood proportioning valve, metering valve and a couple
residuals, but their all SAE and the bug is metric. I've done some
searching, but can find any.

what I've done in the past, instead of adapting, is new metric lines then
put the proper SAE ends on the lines for the non-standard parts... you will
need to have a good flair tool...

Frack, not what I need. No ends with bubble flare, all SAE.

uhhh make your own custom brake lines!
There are adapters out there too!

I'll leave the $250 flare tool for the last option

part #896 looks right, but they don't say if it is 10mmx1mm or not.

This is insane. I can't believe this stuff is so hard to find.

WOW $250????? It must be made out of some rare material. :-)

Last flaring tool set I bought was a Craftsman for around $20-$30.
I also use a Blue Point from Snap-On like this K-D one here on ebay #
300262016262 or this BP #350103473485 (might be missing an adapter)
This is all you need to make single, double and bubble flares along with a
tubing cutter which did not seem to come with the KD kit.

Auto part stores might even rent/loan one. ;-)
DON'T BUY JUNK SINCE THE TOOLS CAN BREAK OR SLIP!!!

$250 sounds about right for a good bench or vice mounted unit. Once you
have used one of those, you will never want to use ANY brand handheld
flaring tools. Except if you must work under a car to do flares, that's
where handhelds shine.

If I had the money, I would buy the bench or vice mounted type. It's
pretty amazing, for someone who's been doing them with crappy handheld
tools for a long time
