[Fot] brake lines

[william r tobin]

Hi Gang, what do you do when having to replace brake lines on our old British
cars? How do you flare the lines to fit our older cars? Do you buy them
already made up?
    Or do you switch to the SAE 45 degree double flares? Or the ISO bubble
flares?
    Or just chuck the whole works and go to all modern fittings?
    I've been looking for a flaring tool that will flare hard brake lines to
match the British fittings, without much success.
    I know Dr. Dave at TRF makes lines to British specs (and he won't sell me
the tool!) and Richard Good sells lines with British fittings, but I'd like to
flare my own.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks, Bill    Headed to Watkins Glen in two weeks; who else is going?
    PS, Richard, I bougtht a roll of the Copper Nickle Ferrous Alloy brake
line. Pricey but forms easily and won't rust. And looks cool.I'm using it on
the '71 Dodge B300 van I just bought; neat old van, great for cruise-ins.
Florida van and all carpeted inside. Ah, back to the old pimped-out van days!
