Ok so brake lines are next in my restoration. Is it a good idea to try and bend my own stainless steel brake lines? There is probably a thread already on this, but I haven't found it (Let me know if there indeed is one). But have any of you had success with this? Drop any tips below
thanks- Frances |

914 uses a spec 'Double flare at the ends= which pro brake shops have the tooling for. Also done manually by hand and extra tricky to get all of them uniform...my experience.
I'd not spend my time & cost savings, then having to do it twice...if leaky and sketch. Email PMB...Eric + staff will get you the Best results ! |
