A nickles worth of opinion (inflation:-)

I grew up in a sports car resto shop specializing in
Austin Healey and early E type Jaguars.  My dad has
made all of his own hardlines for as long as I can
recall (I'm 42).  The only problem he has ever had was
to do with the flare tools not being of good quality.

It isn't rocket science (although Matthew about
quailifies as a rocket scientist ;-)

Make sure you use the correct flare tool, use quality
brake tubing and use the carpenters rule "measure
thrice, cut once"

Jeez Matt... ya toss TIICO's in like they are nothin'
and you are cowed by a brake line, what are we gonna
do with ya!  (irreverent smirk ;-)
