Manufacturer doesn't need loops, he cut to exact length. Loops are commonly used to use up excess length. If you decide to cut and flare, YOU SHOULD USE A DOUBLE FLARE.

Another loop advocate... I've never seen a loop in a brake hardline before.. You guys did notice I said its a hardline right? Runs from the junction block at the pumpkin to the backing plate. I'm a little nervous about the junction block giving up threads... I'll hit everything with PB Blaster before I try anything... -Curt Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2009 21:43:58 -0500 From: "Peter T.

Line is available in multiples of about 6", just loop the portion you don't need. -- Pete Arnold 2007 HHR '95 F-250 P.S.D.
