I flared my own brake lines for my sbc/BMW conversion. I used a cheap single flare tool. I practiced a few times until I had it figured out(much easier off the car on a bench). I did have one flare that split while flaring on the car. I cut that piece and reflared. Be sure not to kink the line, check your flares at least twice to make sure no cracks or splits are present. put it all together and pump the crap out of it and check for leaks. I periodically checked the connections a few times the first month of driving. Walt
