Re: Stainless brakeline recommendations

[Dave Casey <dcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Making stainless brake lines is no problem as long as the material you're 
using has a thin enough wall. Otherwise you will catch hell trying to flare 
them. The stuff that comes in the line kits is thin enough to double flare 
with the common kits out there. Also, be sure you use double flares on brake 
lines. ALWAYS.
Anyway, isn't a 62 Dart a B-body? Why don't you just get a B-body line kit 
if you don't want to make them yourself?
