Making own Brake lines
This would be for a 74 chevy brake setup if that makes a difference. Need to know what to look for in flare tools to make custom lengths.
Thanks in advance. |

Re: Making own Brake lines
But the best bender and flaring tool that you can afford.
Eastwood usually has some good tools.

Re: Making own Brake lines
I would recommend using regular steel or copper/nickel lines because they are much easier to work with than stainless.

Re: Making own Brake lines

Re: Making own Brake lines
45 degree inverted flare. Unless you are building some high end piece I would stay away from 37 degree single flare AN tube fittings on brake lines. You can still use AN steelbraded brake hoses with adapters to 3/8-24 inverted flare (45)
Posted via Mobile Device 3/16 steel as Keith said not stainless unless you have (or get) a $200+ snap on flairing tool. Stainless will eat craftsman's best for lunch. |
