Brake lines need pointers

Ditto on that flaring tool. I used it when I did my lines and didn't have one leak.

Instead of using a roll of SS line, I bought straight lengths, I think the max length that can be shipped is 7'.

I like straight lengths as well. I have purchased 6ft lengths from McMaster Carr. But I think I will be getting some 8' lengths from online metals.

So do you think if I bought a 8ft piece of 3/16 I would be able to run it from the mc down the frame rail to center of rear body, then run flex hose down to axle to a t fitting then hard line out to left and right calipers, I also thought about 2 6ft pieces of stainless then mount the proportioning valve under the driver seat on frame rail, then it would also be out of sight, whats your thought on this Idea. thanks

I'm not sure 8ft is quite going to make it. On my '87 which is a longer car, its about 6ft worth of line to get from my trans cross member to the end of the line where it turn to the axle soft line. I think on my car 8ft wouldn't be enough. It will probably be closer on your car. You may want to crawl under the car and measure the length.
