Your right!! Thats why this flare kit will be back at CPP tomorrow. The Hydraulic Kit I saw from Master Power Brakes was 385.00. Its not that serious. So can I use 71-72 brake lines?

Re: Brake Lines
If I'm not mistaken, you can single flare a stainless steel brake line. Double flare are for straight steel brake lines.
