[DMCForum] Re: brake lines...




Whoa...hold on there skippy. You can not put a 45 degree American,
or standard double-flare on our brake lines. Our brake lines have
a "bubble" or "Girling" flare. The double-flare doesn't seal up
right in the existing swivel nuts and will leak.

See: http://www.dimebank.com/BrakePlumbing.html for more info.

You can buy a bubble-flare tool but they are expensive and you'll
have to order it. Sears has no such item. Walt may have one.

The above link has a kit you can order -and- shows a photo of each
type of flare.

As you may have guessed, I've already fought this battle with my
car. Don't bother with NAPA or any other American parts house. (Well
ok, maybe just Maryland parts houses suck) Either get the right
tool, or order the lines from DMCH. Either that or buy an industrial
sized bottle of aspirin for the headache you'll get trying to adapt
45 degree flaring parts.

Hope this helps,

Rich A.
