Re: running new brake hardlines

Buy a good tubing bender and "double flare" tool.
Take your time.
Some people will map out their lines with stiff wire and then duplicate them with the tubing.
You will waste a little tubing so buy plenty.

Don't buy the coils of tubing, you wont be able to get it straight.

Flaring the ends will need some practice.
