[TR] Why not FLAPS brake lines?

[wbeech]

Paul,

>From what FLAPS are you finding these British brake lines?.

List,
I think I have removed all my brake lines carefully during last year's
tear-down.  Is there any logical reason I cannot/should not clean, paint &
re-install them?

Why not just get british-style brake line from the local auto parts store?
It comes with the correct fittings and flares.  I plan to replace all the
brake line.

When I attempted my brake lines last time, I didn't know about British
flares!
I got them to tighten up ok, but of course, they didn't work!!!  Of course,
my car is inopperable.

I already know the correct lenth of the individual lines, and I've got a
brake line bender that makes good gentle bends.  I don't know why Stainless
steel lines are necessary?

Thanks, Paul Dorsey  60 TR3
