sorry for the novel </TD></TR></TABLE>

Rigid makes one and you can find decent looking ones on ebay (although I don't know how trustworthy they are)

DAneronimo

thanks for the reply, i actually answered my own question.....jegs actually does have a 37* flare tool....just never noticed i guess..
thanks!

maybe im missing something here, but i have a question.

Where can i buy 10x1.0mm Inverted Flare Fittings? i've found them for 3/16" tube, but im sure the thread pitch is standard. I also havent had much luck finding out what thread pitch they are, so i cannot find any adapters either...

EDIT: found it http://store.summitracing.com/...w=sku

shaving the bay and DEF doing the prop valve relocation. but since its a daily driven street car, keeping heat and interior and wipers. so the prop valve is only gonna go lower in the bay/ or maybe in the wheel well or under the frame.. we'll see..

thanks for the right up
it renews my faith in honda-tech when i see ppl doing helpful things like this and not just flaming everyone that asks a question and isnt 110% JDM.

to you

mine is right behind the center console.

is there a concern about the different lengths of hardline/braided line going to the wheels?

it must be negligible, but would it matter when bleeding the brakes?

#1) i wouldnt put braided line to the wheels... i have braided in my setup but it doesnt go to the wheels..

#2) i dont think it matters to much just keep your lines relatively the same length.

g2_teg_

well i finished my brake line tuck and it looks like i have two or three little leaks. maybe my flares werent good enough?

EDIT: or do u think i need some type of thread sealant? (liquid or tape?)

it actually doesnt matter is the lines are all different lengths...just as long as the entire length is filled with fluid and no air.

It just may make things a little more difficult or confusing when bleeding the brakes.

some recent work ive done:

soon2bk20

aight guys sorry for the noob questions. ive been searchin on different site and reading here for more info.
i finally got some of my brake line figured out

this is what im workin with- and yes my egine bay is dirt as hell. its my project im workin with now. firsth thing thats gotta go is abs.

heres my set up. please lemme know if i can improve it

master cylinder------------------&gt; prop valve
banjo bolt- for the one on the side- green circle
http://www.markwilliams.com/detail.aspx?ID=158
banjo bolt- for the one on the top, and have it coming off the passendger side- light blue circle
http://store.summitracing.com/...w=sku
then use bulk heads to get through the fire wall
http://www.markwilliams.com/detail.aspx?ID=154
this is what im unsure of. can i use this to connect the -3an line to prop valve or do i need somethng else?
http://www.markwilliams.com/detail.aspx?ID=1648
or
http://www.markwilliams.com/detail.aspx?ID=1646
or is it something totally different. this is where im stuck in my brake line project. i dont know what fittings to use to go to the prop valve and the fittings to go to my ealrs stainless steel brake lines.

i was planning on running all stainless. but above someone recomended not using stainless to ur brakes?

like i said sorry for the noob questions. but i have a habit of buying things that arent need for the project. i dont wanna do that here. i want to have a plan laid out so i know exactly what to get.

thanx in adavnce for ur help

Joey.

yes bump!

is it ok to mix aluminum fittings with steel fittings? because you have to use a steel fitting on the actual prop valve and mc, but i see people using aluminum sleeves, hose ends and bulkheads, is this ok?

good thread

NHswaps13203

ill take some better ones when i get time

ComeOnKip

You guys should be wary running S/S lines from the BMC to the firewall, the more hardline you can use to plumb the car the much better its going to be longterm.

Also, i've heard many an arguement over the year about the double bubble flare and a/n adapters.... I've always used just a standard flaring tool and NEVER had a problem with the mating services, even with the small difference in the angles. Tube nuts ftw.

NHswaps13203

i use tub nuts but i double flare them...your saying that its not neccasary sp?

ComeOnKip

no i use the industry standard ISO 'double bubble' flare. but i guess the line is malleable enough at that point to just be squished into mating correctly.

Paul1985

Isnt it illegal in the US to use a single flare on a brake line?

How are all you guys doing your AN fittings if this is the case and you wanna keep it legal??

Maybe its not possible, just wanna know if theres a way.

Can you double flare and use an AN fitting??

NHswaps13203

i double flared my brake lines that go into my an bulkheads.sooo
