Re: "Albert" -- 1949 AD, S10 Chassis

Thanks mate! I was about to buy some stainless braided brake hose and the needed AN adapter fittings from Summit for the front flex lines then though, why?

I've been trying to put as many auto parts store available parts on my truck as possible that way if I do have future issues the replacement parts are easily obtained. About the only custom items are my Spahl fan and Summit radiator.

One other tool you may want to look at is the Eastwood Pro Brake Tubing Flaring Tool. You can use it to make double flares for brake lines and also bubble flares for hard lines to soft lines. It is a bit pricey at $200 but it works really, really well. I have a small hand held flaring tool but never really liked it. It's kind of hard to justify a $200 brake flare tool but I'm kind of a tool junkie though.
