RSL Dixie,
Just chiming in here on what others are saying...
I tried to bend my own lines...I do not own a flair tool...after looking at cost of tools etc, I bought the pre-bent and was happy I did.
Not sure on how much you know about brake lines so I will add...the lines rust from the inside out. They may look good on the outside, but are one emergency stop from bursting through a weak spot. If you run your old bolt into the back of someone else, it will get expensive real fast! Brakes are one area not to skimp on. You will get back the return on your investment every time you step on the pedal.
Just my $.02 worth on this...
