I have picked up a double flaring tool at Supercheap years ago, and it
worked quite well however it took a lot of setting up to get the dies to
fit properly. Don't waste your time with single flares, they will fail you.
I usually drop in to my local brake shop, swing them a coupla cartons and
enough $$$ to cover the tube, and they run the lines through the shell and
flare them ready to go. Quick and easy.
You could also run braided line, but save your pennies to do so.
mmmmmmmmmmmm braided line.....

Adam,
I ahve only seen single flare kits in the Automotive stores, Repco, Auto1
etc..
When I ask for a double flaring tool. I get this blank look and the
confidence inspiring 'I'll just ask someone' line.
What does a double flaring tool look like and where can I get one?
Regards,
Nick
