I don't think that flaring will be suitable on soft copper pipe and it certainly isn't what was used originally.

Solder nipples are fairly easy to obtain. I always stock up at jumbles but there are on-line suppliers such as this one :-

What set-up are you planning to use ? Pre- / early-war solid copper throughout ? The only parts difficulty is that due to Norton's practice of using 5/16" pipe from the oil feed but having 1/4" unions on the crankcases, an unusual nipple which fits inside the pipe at the lower end is needed. I've only obtained these by reclaiming old oil lines but obviously they could be fabricated.
