3/16" brass compression fittings 'work', but are not recommended for brake lines.

But I've done it before in a pinch.

A good flaring tool will do inverted flares. But you will have mixed results with 'used' steel line.

You can do a regular flare and use a brass union, that's totally acceptable and lasts.

If you are going to metric calipers, there are unions that are standard flare on one side and inverted on the other.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
