What Kind of Fitting is This???

[packman]

I have the stock front brake hose for my '05 MGM. Looking at the fitting on the end of the hose that goes to the brake line; I can't figure out what kind of fitting that is. I know the thread pitch and it appears to be an inverted flare female; but the flare is concave. I have leftover fittings with the same thread pitch; and they are female, but the flare is not inverted. What kind of fitting do I need to get? Or in other words, what is the stock fitting called?

It appears to be a bubble flair

Awesome!!! Thank you Brown Muscle. Going to look this up. I am attempting to assemble my own lines with the leftover parts that I have; for the big brake swap.

What the Muscle of Brown said. You sir, have a double flare. [Edit: Guess they call those "inverted" flares?]

Pretty sure those are metric bubble flares on those years?

If you're flaring the line yourself, bubble flare and you'll need an m10x1 line nut to connect to that brake hose.

Coincidentally, I just today received my 3/8-24 female inverted flare to male m10x1 bubble flare adapters for big brake swap.

So this is the fitting I ended up getting for the big brake swap for the '05 MGM. Female 10 x 1.0mm Metric Concave Seat to 4AN Male, Steel. Got it from Pegasus Auto Racing.
