i'm in the process right now of bending 3/8" stainless tubing to replace my factory rubber/plastic fuel lines and am using AN fittings to mate to -6AN stainless braided hose. for this, i need a flaring tool at 37*, i have found many for pretty cheap but don't work on stainless...anybody out there know of a good 37* flaring tool that works on 3/8" stainless tubing? i found the tubing, hose, fittings, and bender at Summit Racing, but they do not sell a flaring tool for 37* for stainless

 

just picked this up...was the best price i found for one that actually works on stainless, and i know that Imperial is a reputable company, so i'll give it a shot and let you all know how well it works

I just used a farrel from B and R, and it works great!

 

There are several high end flaring tools for SS tubing available.

For those who don't want to go through the brain damage of flaring, or can't get a flaring tool in an already installed location, Earls also makes and sells a conversion fitting for SS tubing that allows one to go from, for example, 3/8" tubing to -6 AN fittings. They're inexpensive and very strong, recommended for this use by Carrol Smith in his Race Car Plumbing book.

 

Best flaring tool period.I have been using it for the past three weekends making stainless brake hard lines and it works flawlessly.It states on Ridgids website it will flare stainless and 3/8 line.
