Done it with my Formula Ford, clutch and brakes. I used the Harbor Freight
tool (cheaper), you can buy the AN tube nuts and inserts at any racing
supply store (like Frey) if you want to switch to AN. Straight tubing w/
fittings in different lengths can be bought at Pep Boys, etc... which might
work as is. If you don't like how the flare came out cut it off and try
again.
