I looked at two front pre bent brake lines at Inline Tube last week for $35. This week they're $45.

... and shipping has gone way up over the last half dozen years. Crazy prices on oversize shipping is the reason I invested in a nice tubing straightener and am now buying hoops of tubing & bending my own. Have several flaring tools & original example lines for 70-72 A-body's & 2nd Gen T/A's, which makes it even easier.

I have owned on of those fancy flaring tools that has a hand hydraulic pump that makes the flare, works flawlessly!!! Mastercool is the brand on the case, I bought it from NAPA.

I had owned this kit for about 3-4 years, had not even used it yet. A friend was working on his Hot Rod project. He had bough a set of trans cooler lines, already flared and bent. One end on each line had to be cut off and re-flared.

I re-flared one end of each line. He looked at both tubes...my flares were better than the ones that came on the lines.....


Parts prices going up???? Crap since 2005 (remember hurricane Katrina???) everything has been going up, and has not slowed down...
