I plan on doing a frame off in a year or two after I straighten out all of the mechanical issues and I’m leaning toward copper-nickel. From what I heard, Cu-Ni double flares nicely because it’s soft and has the added benefit of being corrosion resistant. I’ve looked into quality flaring kits and they run around $200 and it may be a one time use tool. I can’t quite justify that expense. I have one questionable brake line left to replace on the rear end and picked up a 25’ coil of Cu-Ni for $25 from Amazon for that purpose. I see how that goes.
