Fabricating brake lines isn't rocket science. A bend, a flare, and a couple fasteners are really all it takes. But if you've even tried to bend a tight radius or make double inverted flares on ...

Also left to do was plumb the brake system, so we go over the materials and tools to use to build brake lines, and also show how to create a perfect inverted or double flare with inexpensive tools.

Generally, when we make the perfect flare using the kind of double flare tool, you're talking about how we forgot to put the flare nut on the line the first time and must then do it twice.

Making your own brake lines might sound scary, but with this tool, it's a breeze. Add a flaring tool to your arsenal to take your DIY skills to the next level.

Mustang Monthly’s Project Large Marge ’73 Mustang gets a custom-plumbed brake system. Watch how Jason Lewis does it in this video.
