Anyone know the most likely source to find a tubing beader that will do 3/8th inch stainless? I've tried the local plumbing places and flaps but no luck. Thanks

3/8 dia?

Smart Racing and Bead form sell them, but I dont think they work on that small dia tubing.

Lowbuck tools also sells it

I found This one but it only does aluminum. When I called on the the guy told me that most racers run aluminum lines. Will they work on our cars or is there an issue with aluminum?

Allan,
you could just get a flaring tool at your FLAPS and put brass fittings on the ends of your tubing. This is what I do. The flare tool was only $6 or $7. Then I use brass fittings with hose-barb ends or whatever is needed.
