Brake line help - 08/03/09 11:09 PM

I am trying to run new Stainless brake lines and cannot find a good flaring tool for this. Any help please, Advance auto does not have any"good" brake line flaring tools, stripped 2 of them on regular lines trying to get it right. Building a 34 Ford Tudor with a 72 Caddy motor. 500 with 2x4 intake. I know not a Mopar........
Thanks in advance

SS is TOUGH stuff, as you have found out. It also requires different flares and adapters.
Here's a google search, but unless you want the no rust and race level lines, why not go with good ol' regular steel?

Stainless looks so much better under the car.Better quality I believe.

Does anyone know if regular steel brake line is offered in larger rolls than 25 feet ?

a) I have the3 MasterCool 71475 flaring tool kit. You have to watch the stainless tube because it comes in various wall thickness.If you buy too thick of a tube the tool will break every time. You might want to call and talk to Mastercool or perhaps someone at Eastwood?

b) For getting a roll of tubing longer than 25 ft. I'd call these folks and see what's up:
