You may need double clamps if the lines aren't dimpled. If you're not proficient at bending you can get poly coated steel line, it's a breeze to bend. It's the dark green stuff.
Yes, great diagram Vette!

that $25 tool from amazon doesnt work on steel line. Its worthless. In fact worse than worthless because you waste 5 hours and a few trips back to the store for more steel line.
If you are going to get a flaring tool dont spend less than $100 on it is the word on the street. I just ordered a Rigid for $125 or so. Hoepfully it actually works because it will be my 3rd this week. Amazon and Pepboys versions both failed miserably.
