Although I brought a lot of my brake lines made,there seemed to be a couple that I couldn't get hold of length wise for a pickup so as I have access to a nice flare tool and some spare kunifer pipe I'd have a few test runs. So picture 1 shows a shop bought flare and 2 and 3 are mine. once fitted and tightened down they take the shape of the shop brought fitting. I'm using the 3/16 op1 on the tooling. Is this the correct way of doing these or am using the wrong tooling? Cheers guys!
Just to add, the bottom pictured hasn't been tightened down, was just to show it against the fitting.
To make proper flare it's a two part operation first to create bulge second to push centre down,if I remember correctly you have to rotate head on tool. Instructions are on tool box lid?
not the sykes one , put pipe in dye ,clamp dye,pull handle... Are you using the old fittings? even I use new ones...
Looks fine to me As long as you set the pipe at the correct height in the tool you can't go wrong Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
... apparently the thickness of the top of the die your sticking in the pipe!.. so they say Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk
I made loads of wrong ones until I got the knack of setting the height Then I found out your supposed to use the notch on the edge of the die to set the pipe height My tools a cheap one though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
