Just a question here on the SS lines. I have bent and installed miles of the stuff from 1/16th to 1 1/2" and have never had any problems with leaks. But I have always used ferrules and never flare fittings. First will the SS double flare? And would it not be better to have ferrule fittings than flare fittings? It just seems to me that the SS lines would break if they were double flared. But maybe not... Just wondering........... Now that I think about it, the fittings have to be flared to fit most master cylinders and brake lines. ����� .............. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 10:52 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Stainless Steel brake lines & fuel lines
