    As for the second line, you are not supposed to use flairing tool on brake lines you are suposed to use a double flairing tool to fit the ends that are made for it. The double tool uses a different angle.
    A double flaring tool is a flaring tool.

    Who cares

The double tool uses a different angle (45 degrees when a regular flare tool is 37 degrees) and you can easily screw them up if you do not know what you are doing with them.
    i assumed you knew i was talking about a double flare 45 degree tool for brakes..my bad.

    as far as the double tool using a different angle than the single flare tool, that is wrong..they make double and single flare tools in both 37 and 45 degree. the 37 degree is the standard AN flare.

    after all of this i can see why that make plastic brake line kits..for people like you.

    You answer questions like everyone knows what you are talking about, you repeatedly said flare tool and that is NOT correct and someone reading that didn't know better would go get one and use it. Do you have any idea how many different diameters and thicknesses there are on "standard" steel lines??? Didn't think so, get the wrong one and your double flares will be junk.
    I guess people like me are the same reason that nylon is used in Indy and F-1 and on 99.9% of the dirt late models and modifieds, because we are intelligent enough to know how to run it without having any issues.

    seems like 99.9% of people know that when i talk about a flare tool in a post about brake lines that i am refering to a brake flare tool. congratulations you are the .1% that didnt comprehend. just read the post slower next time, let it sink in.


    p.s. like i said before if all else fails you can buy premade lines with proper double flares and nuts already done for you. this may be the route to go for someone like yourself.

    I have installed in on asphalt and dirt cars since the mid to late 90's. It takes about 1 minute to make an at the track repair in the line that would require a new steel line.

    I have never repaired a steel line at the track.
