[DeTomaso] Clutch Line Flaring

[Julian Kift]

After getting frustrated with the cheaper tools I invested in a Brakequip BQ350, it does both 45 and 37 degree single, double and bubble flares. You absolutely need one of these professional tools if you are attempting stainless lines. 
Since I purchased mine some years ago Eastwood carry the recommended (and slightly cheaper) equivalent, although it looks like you need to purchase the 37 degree flare die kit separately.
