Upon removing it the steel brake line corroded itself to the fitting/brake line nut. We had to cut the steel line. What type of flare are we making to repair the steel brake line? It's been a while  Thanks Y'all

I have a 1950 3600 that I went through the same thing on. Get yourself a 4 ft 1/4 inch brake line and a cheap bending tool. That worked perfect to go from the master cylinder to the tee fitting along the pass side frame. Here's a pic. brake line 1 brake line 2 Hope this helps. PS, if you want to make your own, they are double flared fittings. Get yourself a good flaring tool.

We're in Snoqualmie. I haven't had a chance to formally introduce the truck to the forum yet. The little lady saw it in a friends garage and fell in love. So here we are. We'll post up picture when we get it rolling.
Bugger! I have a ISO kit, of course. Maybe We'll just bend a new one.
Wish us luck! And thanks again. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 687 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 687 | No problem. Just to be clear, you can buy a 4 ft line with the ends already flared and the fittings in place where all you have to do it bend and install. easy@!
Good luck and if you are ever down along the coast, stop by! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | |
