Hard Brake Lines
Hi All,
Been on here for 10 years almost, not much of a poster, rarely sign in, but certainly saved $1,000 dollars learning how to do things from all the great advice. Just registered again and need some help, searched forums and read everything I can but still not clear on some things, hope you can help.
86 n/a, daily driver and lots of miles and now the rust is starting to catch up with my favorite car. Replaced some fuel lines with the help of Bruce's site now its time to replace rear brake lines, all shot to hell from corrosion.
Need to replace from 3 way all the way to calipers, I know none if it will come apart so it just seems easier to replace, Paragon quoted me $313.00 for everything, more than I want to spend, willing to make my own but need help with the following; size of brake lines (3/16?), what type of flare and nuts, seen both bubble and double flare mentioned? Any recommendatin on flaring tool or bender would also be helpful. Thanks in advance.
