I'm several months into a 240D engine build and should be ready to crank the engine for the first time today.

In putting the clutch slave cylinder back on the tranny, the line cracked and broke where it comes out of the cab.

In trying to find a replacement line, I decided to use a new SAE brake line and reuse the old fittings. The line diameter is really close. I think I can cut it and bend it to shape and length, but what kind of flare is used?

45 degree?
37 degree?
