Devil's advocate here... is the cost of the tools greater or about the same as just buying the pre-bent and flared lines from a restorer company?
I have not priced either just asking.
Have replaced several complete brake line systems in more modern vehicles. Must be a change in the material they use for brake lines now days from the old days. We found it best to just go ahead and replace the whole system rather than piecing in parts.
The Eastman tool cost us $300 but is worth its weight in gold.
