Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[OR VietVet]

If you have a flaring tool and enough extra tubing, you can use a tubing cutter and re-flare and reinstall and bleed. It really is an easy process. If you have ever flared tubing before, it is not bad. If you have not, watch some videos or get a friend that has. If you do it wrong, the flare will not seat correctly or it can even split.

I think the only thing flared right now are @Tonyrodz's nostrils.

Once you have done the flaring, it is pretty easy. I ran a shop one time that we made custom brake lines at. I had techs that were busy, so when an order came in, I did all the custom builds. I got to the point where I could build them rather quickly and I am honest when I say this, never had one come back.

So they all then crashed and went to the junkyard? Oh the shame!

I was at a loss for what they actually are. Definitely not copper.
