Re: Attempt/Mistake #2

My new headers were nearly touching the nuts on the cross shafts on my '75 A arms so I bought a set of 67 ones off of MrDana60 on here. They are significantly narrower than the '75 and should make all my clearances much more pleasing. Plus I did not like how close the steering shaft was to the big washer that was immediately inboard of the cross shaft nut. Then I got tools in the mail. I like tools. A lot. After much deliberation and research (and frustration with the Rigid 345 as it will not flare stainless worth a darn and I broke my die on the second flare) I bought the Mastercool hydraulic flaring tool. Got it with the 45 degree double inverted flare dies as well as the 37 degree single and double flares so I can do some stuff with AN fittings that I have been toying with. This thing is amazing and is probably even worth the 350 dollar price tag.
