tube straightener
 

Getting ready to fabricate fuel and brake lines for our project.
The 3/8" Stainless Steel line arrived from Summit. Wow, I can tell this is going to be hard to work with.
I want to purchase a tube straightener and have been searching for the best pricing. Jegs has it for $199. Anybody found this tool for less?

The kit I got from inlinetube.com had 5 pieces of 3/16" straight tube.
It would be cheaper to buy a new kit from them than to deal with coil stock

How are you going the double flare the SS line? The kits that can work SS are not cheap, but then you may already have a dedicated bench top flaring press.

Brake lines will not be SS but made with mild steel. Just as they are on the 69 FB we built lines for, with a hydroboost system. I will do them with a 45 degree flare. No problem.

Fuel lines require 37 degree flare. To use with AN fittings. I will do those as well.

Thanks for your help with my original question

It is super easy to straighten out the coiled tubing. All you need is a length of 2x4 and a couple pairs of hands. Straighten the coil mostly by hand, just get it close. Then you and buddy (my wifey helped me), roll the tubing between garage floor and the 2x4. I takes a bit of time, but you will get a very straight piece. A 2x6 would make it even easier as the rolling distance would be longer and you wouldn't have to reset the board as much. Good luck.
