i can't say for certain, but it's  probably an ISO bubble flare. tricky to
make.

what i would do (and this is just me) is get the adapters from the metric
ISO flare to an aircraft flares, and then put in a new brake line using 3AN
fittings. but then, i'm not normal when it comes to brakes.

also, there's a whole set of special tools that goes with that kind of
operation. fortunately, i have them, and my wife's GTV-6 is about to start
down that path.

cheers,
