 "I simply pick up coated steel brake      lines at my local FLAPS."

I second that.  I just picked up a 50 ft roll of 5/16 tubing to replumb my TR6.  Price was way less than anything at McMaster-Carr.

i'm sure you'll get a zillion variations in responses, but I've      simplified my rebuilds.... I simply pick up coated steel brake      lines at my local FLAPS.
    
Cut the ends off (to remove the pre-crimped nuts)   Now I DO have      a nice hand powered hydraulic flanger. so bubbles, doubles, single      flairs are dirt simple. The beauty of this flare tool is I can do      it on the car in tight places and get near perfect flairs in      seconds.  So many will tell you to only use 'conifer' (a copper      alloy?) which is easier to bend. But even the little cheap FLAPS      nut cracker looking benders do a decent enough job...is all I use.
    
holy crap!...just did a quick google... man they have gone up in      price! I only paid around $125 6-8 years ago
    
...anyway....if you can afford it... a GREAT tool ...NFI...just      very glad I bought it!

That is the all up kit...does 7-10 differnt types amd multiple      sizes of each. They do make a small kit

Hope you're all having a great          driving season!
        

        
        
I am at the point in my rebuild          where I have to install new fuel line in 
        
my '59 TR3. Some folks say to use          copper line (5/16") because it's 
        
easier to form. Others say to          only use steel tubing. I have seen the 
        
steel Poly Armor fuel line and          wonder if anyone here has used it and 
        
what the lists' consensus on tube          type and material is. Steel requires 
        
more effort to bend and flare, of          course.....
        

        
        
Thanks in advance for your          feedback.
