Brake line flare forming tools
« on: Wednesday,July 06, 2016, 06:52:41 AM »
I'm offering these two brake flare forming tools to anyone who is about to start making their own brake lines, just pay for the cost of shipping. Be forewarned that I was not successful in making acceptable double/bubble flares using these tools. That was the reason that I gave up on the tools and bought the Eastwood kit. Maybe you'll have better luck. Hopefully after you're done using them successfully, you can pass them on to someone else.
