Brake lines

[DaveS53]

I'd use nicop tubing from a roll because it's so much easier to bend and flare. Even with the eastwood flaring tool, you may have problems making stainless double flares without cracking. I got better results when I annealed the ends of stainless tube with a propane torch.

Wilwood sells many lengths of stainless steel braided hose and adapters for the 3 AN hose ends.

Two kits for $150 for two kits isn't that expensive.

I have used summit PTFE hose with stainless braid and summit fittings for fuel lines and transmission coolant lines.

I did all my stainless lines with the Eastwood flaring kit and never had that problem of making double flares and cracking. I used brake fluid on the ends for lubrication and they came out perfect. I know others have had the same experience on the forum. The Eastwood tool is very nice and would recommend it to anyone flaring lines. Also I rented it from another local member who did stainless and he had the same experience with the tool.
