Hi guys, does any one know if the same wheel cylinders accept the soft brake lines for my bug car, the 1958, as a later model of car? I'm having a hard time finding soft brake lines with the right end....

NOPE!
it's a 37 degree flare seat instead of a 45. (Dec. 18-- I was wrong, if a seat appears to be a more steep slope, that is a 37degree flare seat, this seat appears to be very flat... So it's not a 37 degree flare...)

Look at https://www.new-line.com/contact-us/locations/Victoria-BC
Take your old hose with you when you go to them. Nick

Nope! Been there, been told no that!
I been there lots for the oil network I tried to make, and when I went back for the brake system stuff they told me, twice, they don't do alot of inverted flare stuff. They would just redirect me to the internet searching scenario at other places online. But thanks though. Anyway, I've been through the options, either buying ANOTHER flare tool, this time the 37degree one, or try and buy a section of brake line with the 37degrees already done for me, but had no luck during my search, ( with the search keywords "37 degree flare 3/16 brake line" , and got nothing but rolls of 3/16 brake line, and flaring tools, but no premade sections with the 37degree flare) or try and see what Steve at blaser auto has, he said he has some soft lines I need, so I sent him a pic of the end of my old soft line to make sure it'll be a match. So that's what I think I'll do, after all, those are only $39 each, instead of the cost of buying a new flare tool, the sleeve, the coupling, paying the shipping, buying the new brake line length. I'll keep you all posted.... I've bought lots of soft brake lines so far and still haven't got it right, three soft lines from a later model jeep that used drum brakes and wheel cylinders, those didn't seat and seal well and leaked, I Bout another one from amc lives, but it was two inches too long and didn't feel good about all that extra hose hanging around getting nicked by rocks ect, bought these three trader suggested, now I'm trying Steve's!!!, this is the second master cylinder I bot for this job too! I already made the whole brake line system, and had to reflare the whole thing, as I didnt ...... Well, you all know what happened already, I don't have to type it out again.... I'll keep you posted on this recent hose inquiry.

Looking at the two flare seats in the picture I posted, the old one is a 45degree flare seat, if the new flare seat on the new shiny brake line appears to be alot flatter, and it feels flatter too, I used a exact knife blade to feel its shape, and it is very flat, what kind of flare seat is this?
The 37degree flare is supposed to be steeper then the 45, so I was wrong about the new one being a 37deg flare seat. What kind of flare seat is this? Not sure if anyone is interested in the thread, so I changed its title to try and get folks on here interested and maybe give their point of view....

Okay, you have shown us the female portion of the fitting, what does the male portion look like?

Like this... But why would the other end help you gather your opinion for an answer?

You are correct, the other end of the hose isn't related to the question. My bad, I should have been more specific. I meant the male fitting that screws into the female hose fitting.
