Flaring Stainless Tubing
Has anyone had any luck flaring stainless steel tubing for use on a brake system? I tried the el cheapo kit from Harbor Freight and it just pushed the tubing out of the vise and bit into the conical die that is supposed to flare it! Most of the kits ive seen that are in the 2 digit price range either say 'not for stainless steel' or ' for flaring mild steel'. I just bought a Rigid kit from Home Depot that ive been told does well but if anyone has any advice I would surely appreciate it!
Also, ive been told that double flaring stainless tubing isnt a necessity due to the fact that it is a bit beefier than normal brake line...any truth to that? Kris
