In restoring the -55 fuel lines and such, I have been successful wrapping
the metric tubing with tape before flaring the artificially enlarged tubing
with a U.S. flaring tool. It's cheating, but it works. Don't go too thick
with the tape; else you'll crimp the tubing.

Jill;
Please note your comments apply to the 6mm tubing only. The standard
aircraft flaring tool works perfectly with the 8 mm tubing as the O.D. is
the same.
I did not suggest the use of the standard flare tool with the 6 mm tubing
though this can be done very successfully with an appropriate shim (I use a
piece of 400 grit wet-or-dry)
If you can obtain a metric aircraft standard flaring tool I would be
interested in purchasing one.
Industrial or Automotive units may be something other than 74 degs.
