1. Most brake line kits are available in either mild or stainless steel line and with the option of traditional 45-degree double or 37-degree AN flare fittings.

Also left to do was plumb the brake system, so we go over the materials and tools to use to build brake lines, and also show how to create a perfect inverted or double flare with inexpensive tools.

Tube bending and flaring tools are available from a variety of sources designed to fit many budgets. We will show you a few and how to use them.

This type of brake line flaring tool will work if your material is soft, you get a good cut, and presumably have to hold your tongue just so.
