Reply to "Where to find hard brake lines?"

I don't know how much brake line you need or what you need to replace. I built the system for my MGB from scratch. I got the line from Eastwood. I began using a $25 flair tool. It was a waste of time. I ended up getting a tool which was about $200 at the time. They no longer sell it but the difference was night and day. The cheap tool was very tough to get a usable flair on a harder line. The better flair tools made it not only a piece of cake but the difference of the flair integrity was night and day. If you have a lot of line to do it may be worth buying a descent flair tool and a basic line bender; or if you could borrow one.

I don't know what is available where you are but auto stores like Autozone carry flaired lines in different lengths. You would have to bend them but if you know your length and just need one line that may be an easy alternative.
