Message: [QUOTE="Mr. Neutron, post: 40680, member: 1341"] Ask around (like you just did :D ) about the flaring tools for stainless. The one that you posted above (KD brand, I think?) will not work for flaring stainless, and like has been said, is the wrong angle anyway. Reading reviews & such is one way of finding out about a tool's usefulness for flaring stainless.... Stainless is nice to use, but not totally necessary. NAPA has some of their "universal, bendable, & flareable" (is "flareable" even a word??? :o ) brake/fuel line that has a polymer coating of some sort on the outside to resist rust, corrosion & etc.. It's a little bit softer than stainless, and WAAAYY easier to bend, flare, and work with than stainless. It's what I used in my engine's valley, after being frustrated trying to work with the stainless I bought from Summit Racing. Don't misunderstand me; the stuff from Summit was good stuff. It was just too hard to work with for my limited bending & plumbing skills & tools. I wound up borrowing a 37 degree flaring tool from work that worked extremely well. Sorry I don't know what brand it is..... :shrug: I just used my hands/fingers & other "improvised items" for my little bit of bending I did. (which may explain how I snapped off my positive terminal's posive stud on my fuel pump..... :doh: :drool: ) CSIPSD, I envy you more than you know. My wife & I love the Bend area. Hell, right now, we'd love most anywhere it wasn't raining more than it is dry..... :rolleyes: Jimmie [/QUOTE]
