it is clearly written in the write up but i guess i will re answer.. you can go to any local hardware store or parts store and get a tubing bender.. make sure it has 3/16ths bending capability.. really really simple to do.

Are you guys having any problems double-flaring stainless steel hardline? I thought it was supposed to be too brittle for that. Also, are you using seamless or non-seamless SS hardline?

I can't tell you the actual thread count, but I just went to CarQuest with my regular 10mm and my MC and they happen to have an adapter.
It's a 12mm x something. probably 1 or 1.5

What do you mean double flaring? i understand u flare the line to make it so the nut doesnt come off and makes a seal. And someone asked earlier do you have to keep the lines the same lenght or no. i think you dont but im not sure just asking. How much did the tube bender cost u guys because cant u just use a pipe and your hands and add bends? did u guys use that hand tube bender thing or no?

So brake lines need both flares? I presume making hard line for AN fittings you only do the single flare?

i wouldnt make this a weekend project.

a WEEK project maybe.. but unless you've done a couple of them i would take your time.

i have finished mine twice now, and since have ripped it out again to make it even better.

Chase inspires me. haha.

What should I do about hiding my brake parts?

The s2000 goes write into a huge ABS block, with wires and all types of of hardlines coming in and out. I already deleted the ABS, so now I can do what ever with whats left over.

do you just use a standard double flare if you are using the AN adapters with hardline? or do you have to do a different style flare? i think the standard flare is 45* and an AN fitting is 37*, so does that mean that you need to do a 37* flare on the hardline when using the adapters? if so, my next question would be where do you get a 37* flare tool? i've never seen one anywhere. even at jegs, all they have is the regular old flare tool that you can buy anywhere....

sorry for the novel
