I think the Fiesta uses DIN/ISO - I have just been doing some saloon rear lines and braided hoses and used a DIN tool (Trident). If you do need to make the female concave type flares (ice cream cone shape) you will need the SAE type tool. I am pretty sure the SAE convex male flare will seal OK in a metric DIN concave seat as flare just deforms as the union is tightened (with copper or copper nickel pipes at least).
