What would this flare type be identified as?

Its a 10mm thread, 1978 from Germany.
I need to source a braded line to hook this into..

I got everything I needed from a VW dealer. The guy at the parts counter in Kingston recognized it.
... that was only about 20 years ago.

I'm no expert but I believe that's an ISO bubble flare. You might need to post a picture of the opening for someone more knowledgeable to confirm its not an oddball size/shape.

I agree, looks like a DIN/ISO flare.

More from the FedHill FAQ:

How do I tell what kind of flare I need if I don't have the brake lines?
Look in the port where the line goes. If the bottom looks like a volcano pointing up at you it is an SAE flare seat. If it looks funnel shaped going away from you it is a DIN flare seat.

This is what I need to hook it into, any idea of a local place where I could get it..

Female 10 x 1.0mm Metric Concave Seat to 3AN Male, Steel - Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies

This female 10x 1.0mm metric concave seat has a large enough hex (9/16") to be used with a crush washer when sealing the 3AN side against a flat faced port.

OH
Stock part found on Honda car front brakes.
Any auto parts store will get them for you.
Canadian Tire may have them in the "help" section.
Fairview Fittings will have them in stock

I will usually eliminate the steel line, and go from master to caliper with flex line

I'm hooking the fitting to a 3an line with 90 degree female to start the braided line heading up to the bars.. At least that is the current plan...
