making your own brake lines?

Post by RsvBill on August 14th 2008, 5:50 pm

Well here we go aain. What kind of success have you had making your own brake lines, tranny lines ect.
I purchased a double flare tool, but let me say about the only thing I can do is waist metal tubes.

So if your good at this or have any good pointers I need lots of help in this area.

Bill

I don't know if Jeff can give you any pointers but he's pretty slick at it.

The tool makes alot of difference when making flares. Use only a good USA made tool (read... expensive). HF junk won't do. You can order tubing from eastwood in 25 ft coils. Makes things easier and is cheaper in the long run. Dave
