Re: Building brake lines........need some help
I was thinking about doing that.WE used to clearcoat black oxide plated bolts at one of my past jobs.

I finished building my brake line system for the 57. This is the very first time I built brake lines on my own. I read the Snap-On directions in my brake flaring kit and watched youtube videos on how to do it. The lines turned out nice and cosmetically I was pleased. Tonight was moment of truth............ add fluid into the reservior and check for leaks. Here goes nothing........................................... Well, had a few leak points at some fittings. I ended up tightening them up and stopped the leaks completely. Some of the nuts were not quite snug enough. The only leak I have now is a darn banjo bolt fitting for my camaro/firebird rear disc brake caliper on the driver's side. Hhhmmm....... not bad for a first timer I guess. I heard about so many nightmares with brake making and how even professional folks have difficulty with it. I plan to replace the banjo bolt/copper washers and hope it fixes the leak.
