Matthew,

Eric backs up my case against doing it yourself.

He wrote, "be warmed, that most people are clueless at to what your are
after.  They will try to sell you some type of double flare."

I just think that making your own brake lines is a bad, bad idea. Leave it
to a trusted professional and sleep well at night.

I think everyone knows where I stand on this issue. There is just too much
at stake.

Respectfully,
Bruce
