I'm working on doing a full blown out tuck this time on my EK. I did the wire tuck last winter, and getting ready to drop in the boosted motor I've been working on. I saw a video on how to do double flares, and the tools you will need to make a brake line.

My buddy at work told me about this website, and Hondas use 3/16th Brake lines, and I found the following Items that I think I need to purchase.

Is this all I need as far as materials in order to properly make a basic Brake line going to the proportioning valve, brake master cylinder, and calipers brake lines ?

The reason why I chose copper is because I won't have a hard time trying to bend it and run it around the vehicle.

LMK, really looking forward to getting this project done.

 

IDK about using copper.

 

Who the hell uses copper? That's not a wise choice. Have you actually tried bending brake line? It isn't all that difficult in the first place. Get a proper tube bender and you'll be fine. I wouldn't put such a soft metal as copper on anything related to a car.

 

Yeah I have, like the OEM ones. I was going to get some stainless steel ones but my buddy said that bending stainless steel brake lines will be hard with hand...any suggestions on where I can get the tools from ? Harbor and freight maybe ?

They had some decent reviews. I understand copper rusts, but I only drive this car in the summer, thats about it. I was going to coat them with paint over to protect the copper nickel alloy.

 

That's not straight copper. I actually looked at the link this time. It's a copper/nickel alloy so I doubt it would be any easier to bend than stainless lines.

And then you still have to flare it.

 

Right. That's what I wanted to say, my b. I understand the flaring part, shouldn't be that hard.

Know any good flaring tools out there that's on a budget for this kind of standard setup let's say.
