[Healeys] Brake line

[jmsdarch at sbcglobal.net (John Spaur)]

Pipe bending is an art ?--and switch to stainless (If you decide to use 
stainless steel be prepared for it. The flaring tools are different! Single 
flares, you can succeed most of the time but quality control is difficult. 
Double flares, maybe once or twice if you are lucky until the tool breaks. The 
best advice it don?t use SS unless you have the right tools or have a shop 
flare the lines. You should also install copper cone washers between the SS 
flare and the brake line seat. It prevents galling of the seat. Oh? the washers 
are hard to find and hard to install; but you can make them.)

 

I bent the SS lines for my BT7 and then had a local brake wholesale supply shop 
flare the lines. I don?t recall what I paid but it was not expensive and it was 
in and out the same day.
