Snap On do a brake flaring kit so you can make your own. Their kit includes other sizes so the clutch pipe can also be replaced. You will also need a roll of brake piping and new unions. Here in UK (

I am wondering if there is a place I can buy pre-bent brake lines for a '79 Spitfire. I don't know if I am up to trying to do my own if I can get it already done. Thanks for any help, Doug Carlson
