Default 94 brake line question

I recently completed the C5 front brake upgrade with one problem. When I tried to install the SS lines I got to complete the swap I ran into a problem, in trying to remove the old line using a line wrench I found it was seized to the point of rounding the hard line. So I have determined that there is enough line for me to cut the seized part off and re-flare the hard line after putting on a new threaded section and re-attach the SS line. Whew..... lol Now the question.

What type of flare is used on the Corvettes? Is it a standard double flare? I would like to have the tools and supplies ready when I take it apart to keep time down to a minimum.

TIA

You know I didn't really pay attention when I replaced my lines, but because they are brake lines I would suspect double flares. I'm sure someone else will be able to confirm this.
