There is special tooling to make bubble flares. I needed some for my GT6 and
the local joint that makes custom hydraulic lines said not many places have
them. I never checked into it further, most good auto parts stores sell bubble
flare brake lines w/ fittings in various lengths that you can bend yourself.
Use a good tubing bender (not one of those cheap coiled springy things) and you
can do a nice job.
