Re: Brake lines

I decided to clear off my bench and get all my new brake stuff out. I thought it would be good to practice so I grabbed my old lines and started cutting and flaring.

I used a drill bit and a file to clean up the lines before flaring. Good thing I'm practicing lol couple arnt pretty.

Question:

I'm comparing my flares to the donor's lines and im wonder if both kind work in the proportioning valve. Keep in mind that the old stuff I'm practicing on and comparing to are from 1984. My new valve looks just like my old one, do both flares work? Here's a pic of the old lines flared end and next to it is one I made. Old on right newly flared on left.
