[Healeys] Brake line material

[Herbert Miller]

I believe Healeys like most LBC, use "bubble flare", not "double" flare.

I made all the brake lines for my BJ7.  Out of steel.  No intentions of ever
taking this car out in bad weather.
My point is however if you buy a flaring tool, don't buy a cheap one.  It
won't make an acceptable double flare.

Cunifer; that is why I am asking.
