On the brake hose, be very careful with that brass "T" at the rear end. Thread your new hose very carefully...I recently destroyed mine when I made new lines from the "T" to the wheel cylinders, and the local brake shop said they don't make this kind of "T" anymore (3/16 inverted flare with 3/8 24 thread for the lines to the wheel cyls and 1/4 inverted flare and 7/16 20 thread for the hose). You can buy 3/16 inverted flare with 3/8 24 for all three all day, and even 1/4 inverted flare 3/8 24 thread, but not that goofy 7/16 20 stuff.

On the fuel line, whether you're buying or bending, one way to make the bubble is to use a normal double flaring tool, and only do the first part (created the bubble) - don't do the second part, doubling the line back over itself. We're only talking 5PSI or so here, so that bubble's purpose is only to give you something to clamp hose behind. Works great. There is also another kind of flare, forget the name, that creates the perfect bubble, but you need a flaring tool for that exact purpose.

If you do use any custom lines for the fuel system, be sure to buy aluminum line if you have a cheapo flaring tool. Flaring 3/8 steel or stainless with a $50 flaring tool is mucho difficulto, senior.
