be careful with that cause brake fluid is very flammable....
I will blast it down with brake clean. I picked up a 5 and 6 foot copper nickel line.

with that type of line you will not need the tube bender tool...and I would suggest to try a few flares before you do it on the line you are using. The material is softer them ametal line and I found it takes a little practice to get the flares right without digging too deep into the soft material.

The 5 foot flared on both ends with fittings was the perfect length. Man, is this stuff easy to work with, put on, no leaks. I ended up bleeding both sides, pedal was soft once I backed out and took it for a drive. This 350 runs really nice, can hardly wait till the new rad comes and I can hit the open road.
