OK, I'm gearing up to replace all my salt eaten brake lines.  I've got a 25'
roll of copper/nickel 3/16" line and a friend with a good bubble flare
tool.

My question is: can I use standard M10 connecting nuts on the ends or are
the nuts for bubble flare different than standard end nuts. I want to have
the lines ready to swap out so re-using the ones in service now is out of
the picture.

Many thanks for your advice.
