Ive seen this done here before, but nothing came up with a specific search.
And a search with just proportioning valve....well, just tons of info
Thanks

I do this type of task, i.e., make steel lines ( mostly for fuel applications ) on a fairly regular basis, I'm experienced at it, I have a wide assortment of bending tools and a high quality flare set...and let me say that each one is a challenge...it is the type of task where one really has to take their time...one wrong bend...one flat spot ( the diameter MUST remain ROUND otherwise it creates a RESTRICTION ) and if you mess-up...it's trash and you have to begin all over again. To do this type of task, CORRECTLY, one needs to be experienced at it.

I'd suggest using RUSSELL PERFORMANCE COMPETITION BRAKE HOSE :

This stuff is not cheap...but for what you will spend on tools alone...you could buy the hoses you need. BTW: bending tools for STEEL line NEED to be high quality...in this case Harbor Freight stuff will not make the grade...needs to be Proto, Snap-on quality.
