[Fot] Brake line question

[Bill Tobin]

Hi All, I agree with that statment, except if you're using AN fittings that 
are 37 degrees, I think, and use a sleeve in addition to the single flare.
Check out Federal Hill Trading Post's web site, it has some great info on 
flares, fittings, and tubing.
NFI.
Cheers, Bill
