Grigg, Ive been watching this post for awhile because Im getting ready to do some double flaring myself, Im also installing stainless brake lines on my 51 and I wish afford the Fedhill flare tool but I cant, so I got the Imperial kit number 93-FB you first mentioned then I prepped the ends just like Denny said :
"Rather than crush the tubing with a tubing cutter, I cut my tubes with a fine hacksaw blade. I then touch and rotate the end of the tube to square it up on a bench grinder. I lightly de-burr the inside corner with an Exacto knife to remove any sharp corners."
I then cleaned it up a bit with a hand file and oiled all the moving parts as described earlier.

And I don't know if I just lucked out or what... but they turned out awesome ! "Each one looked as good as the pre-flared tubing from the auto parts stores.
Im very.. very.. pleased

Thanks everyone for the advice
Todd
