    Here's another vote for buying pre-flared lines. I just did all the lines in my car and flared them myself. I found flaring to be hit and miss at best and in the end I had a few that leaked. Lesson learned: don't flare yourself. Buy premade!

    I picked up a bending tool that does 4 sizes for CAD$20.

        just remember how cheap you were when you are flying off that cliff, wondering if festys also came with air brakes like in that bugs bunny cartoon :shock:

          A friend of mine did "his own lines" the brakes leaked at almost every flare, he never double flared any of them! :idea:

              never mind. Mine were only single flared. I went to Harbor freight and got the double flaring set for $13. That should keep them from leaking
