Re: brake lines with drop member

is it constant pressure or surge pressure? i think that is where we ran into the problem. i always say if it works, run it. it did not run for me.

Yes, I was looking at those but oh my god they are expensive, even on ebay. The Ridgid's are very, very nice, just don't have that tab for the vise. I still put them in the vice though. I do all my bending with the tool in the vise.

Not being able to double flare stainless is a common misconception.
Because the wall thickness you are using is .028 or thinner.
