And if you old fittings are grungy you can buy brand new bare fittings.
Most of those premade tubes are "universal fit that come rolled up.
They are never exactly the right length and you will never get really
straight lengths after unrolling them. I only went North of $100 when I
decided to use stainless steel and I didn't go all that far North since
I made them up myself. If I was building for concourse I would have had
to paint over the lines but instead I polished those in the engine bay.
That was about 12 years ago and they are still bright and shiny.
The only problem is that Stainless is hard & it is really hard to make a
decent double flare with standard flaring tools.
