G'day Bob,

I just make the brake pipes. I get the flaring done by a local hydraulics shop. I have a flaring tool, but as you say, best to be certain of quality workmanship. My flaring tool will be used for fuel lines only.

When I made the brake lines, I allowed a little extra length in case even the professionals work is not good enough and has to be redone.

I did have a guy that was supposed to be doing all the brake work, including pipes, hoses, and all connections, but he was to get back to me about a particular part I was wanting, and I didn't hear from him again! I don't reward unreliability.

Cheers,
