Title: Brake pipe flaring
Post by: f1fascination on February 14, 2014, 09:29:16 PM
Hi guys, has anyone bought a decent flaring tool for the "bubble" type flares on our favourite Italian cars?
I wish to make up some new pipe work and am chasing the right type of flaring tool.

Another option is to bend the tubes up and take them down to your local brake shop and get them to do the flaring, i do this when i can't get hold of a good quality one as a really good tool is very expensive. Not saying that Pancho's suggestion wouldn't work fine
cheers
