I've wanted to get a double flare tool for a long time now, just have never gotten around to it. I put that idea back into when I get to that stage of the build basket...
What did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

How come everyone is so keen on double flares? There's on 1 or two on the whole car?

I haven't really gotten into the brakes yet, great to know that there are both bubble and double flares. I would have only gotten a double flare so I'm glad I read a few of these :lol:

What's the point of buying an expensive tool if it won't do ALL the flares you might need

It surely does look worth the money though that's for sure

Ah you were just saying why is everyone so keen on double flares? So being that this tool covers all flares then it is well worth the money

I wouldn't spend that much for a tool that couldn't do a double flare, but i would definitely consider this one for sure.

keyboards convey all meaning! or maybe not

bugger could have saved you from cutting out the side wall.

I used a R1 motorbike alloy rad from ebay.. cools my swift gti perfect & fits in the mini no problems..

you could have problems with that rad, hopefully not.

Meh I needed to do it to be able to get the motor out through the top..

Mpi Rad should be ok.. Lots of the uk guys are using them. And yes it does get hot over there...

Havnt had any time of late to do any work on the car.

Spent a little time this afternoon making up brake lines.

Only did three but gave me a good opportunity to use my new tool to make some double flares that were required for my t peice.

They came out perfect every time!

Quality update I know....
