Re: Brake line flaring tool

That's partially why I chose to go with the NICOP tubing Ogre! I spent several hours searching the internet studying brake lines and flaring tools. The NICOP tubing was consistent with the words easy and forgiving in the search bars hahah. I was in town yesterday and stopped by the local O'Riellys and checked out what brake tubing they had in stock. I also checked to see if they flared brake lines in house. The good news is that they carry Poly Armour tubing, but the bad news is that they do not flare tubing. The manager that runs our O'Riellys is an old school mechanic and really knows his stuff. (I know that's rare when it comes to parts stores haha) He basically told me the same thing. The NICOP tubing will be good to go and flaring shouldn't be a problem. One bummer was the fact that they sell 25ft rolls for $8 bucks less than what I bought mine for. I'm going to spend the morning searching the forum for ideas on how to route and hide the brake lines. If anyone has any links, that would be much appreciated!
