I replaced all of my brake lines with stainless steel break lines from
http://www.inlinetube.com/ , and I bought their flaring tube (Rigid brand
name).
Further, I used single flare. Do you need to do the double flare? I'm pretty
sure the factory only used a single flare.

Craig, I'd agree with Josh, up to $150 for a nice bezel. Gauges
with the console will raise the price, especially with a tachometer.
I've seen $500 price tags at swap meets for restored bezels with the tach.
You probably already know where they tend to crack/break. Watch
the windshield wiper

Correction: Gauges with the bezel, not the console.

Just make sure to inspect your flares when you are done. When I was doing
mine, the first flare or two that I made weren't good, and you

Hello
I wrote to you sometime ago about my 64 Malibu SS which I owned back in 1972, which the gal pulled out in front of me in her MG. Well, ever since July 6, 1972, when my 64 Malibu SS went away...I've looked thru out the Central Illinois area for one like it. A dark blue, light blue interior,
I saw the Bel Air at the NY Auto Show a week ago. I was not impressed. It
looks like a brick on wheels. Chevy would do better to make a modern
interpretation of a 66-70 Chevelle a'la the new GTO.

I flared my own brake lines for my sbc/BMW conversion. I used a cheap single

off the car on a bench). I did have one flare that split while flaring on the

As cost conscious as auto mfgs are, I'm sure if they thought they could use
single flare lines they would have. I don't know the forces or physics of
it all but I'd sure feel safer with double flared lines.

I think in 71 they changed the 454 decal, so that it wasn't the crossed
