Another in the long line of tasks for my Bugeye is the fabrication of new 
brake lines.  There was a discussion on the list a few days ago on the 
subject but I'm still confused as to which way to go.

A friend lent me a Snap-on double flare flaring tool.  Most of the brake 
lines have a "bubble" flare on them.  Is this flare simply the first step 
in the double flare operation?  Is there a special tool needed for 
bubbles?  

I suppose I will need to use the fittings from my present lines.  Anyone 
know of a source for the fittings?

Thanks
