Re: Brake lines

There are new lines available at the parts store that doesn't even need a bender! You will know them because they are black. I forget what it's called, but I have done a few cars with them and never had to get the tool out.

They come in many different lengths and you can usually do a whole car or truck without having to do a single flare. I think I had one that I had to do on one of the cars I recently did. But you need a 10 footer, put two fives together with a connector fitting between them. It's so damn easy these days it's crazy.
