5/16 SAE inverted flare COUPLER?
not sure what you mean "the female ends" where do you need them?

Whenever I look at the premade trans lines, I see nuts with female threads on them. The pic below is from Classic Industries as an example.

Those are not inverted flare. Inverted the nut on the tube is male, AKA brake tube. The ones you pictured is a female nut, AKA SAE flare I think some cars did use inverted flare at the radiator I don't remember.

I'm new to all this, but what I'm reading is that double flare is inverted flare and requires a 45 degree fitting. Maybe I'm missing something?

Thanks for everyone's input.
