Good progress Trip. Nice to have the right tool for the job. I'm relegated to using standard lengths of brake line. (cuz I'm too cheap to buy a good flaring tool).

A friend of mine has the same problem Torchie. He threw away the tee handle and welded a 3/8 nut on the end of the screw and now he uses a cordless 3/8 impact and a 9/16 socket. I about at the point of doing the same.

I bought this tool on sale because I've always had a miserable time with the cheap ones. Using cheap ones took me forever to get anything done & I wasted a lot of tubing! My buddy on the other hand uses a cheap one & never has any problems... go figure! Only used it on 3 projects so far but it's been worth every penny I paid for it in keeping my frustration level & blood pressure down... haha! [ddd

Good idea on the flaring tool kenny.
They can be frustrating Trip.

Me too! I have a single flare tool, just never spent the bucks for a double flare. I just go buy ready made in close lengths, then bend to fit.


Progress looks good Tripper![cl You gonna be riding before long! [cl

Dozer... it’s a 4 port cast aluminum fuel block! I’ll run 3 to my 3 deuce setup & put a small fuel pressure gauge in the 4th hole!

Skull... got it at Joe's Speed Shop. Only bummer is the guy that used to make them quit doing them & started making stuff for Triumph motorcycles & I got the last one he had but I think he may still has some of the 3 holers!
