line flaring

[dusterbd13]

so im looking at the disc brake stuff im planning to use on my 64 el camino. using stock c5 corvette brakes up front, and a set of nissan 300zx twin turbo rear discs. also planning on a c4 corvette pbr aluminum master.
anyway, the elky has good metal lines in it. look to have been replaced fairly recently, actually. this has your standard female flare.
teh brake parts im planning on using all have the later GM bubble flare. same with teh 300zx stuff.

what do i need to do to adapt? or would it be better to buy the tools to make the later flares? this will not be a track car (well, not planning on, but may wind up there anyway once in a while), but mostly a street/daily styl;e car. or truck. or trar....



anyway, what would you reccomend, and why? more specific is better.

I would recommend flaring the hard lines to match the hoses you intend to run, or buying hoses to match the hardlines. Can you run adapter fittings, yes, but it just increases the numbers of connections in the system which increases the likelihood of leaks and or issues down the road IMO.

Yea, talk to Tobin. He can set you up with flex lines to go from the standard double flair to the new bubble flair.
