Totally. Brakes save your life every time you use them, why not go with
the good stuff?

Long ago, I was doing some work on a project car and needed to flare
brake lines. At that time I was working at a car dealer and just picked
up a big kit from the Snap On guy one week. It wasn't cheap, but the
flares are textbook every time and it does a huge range of sizes.

IMO, This thread and others like it are part of the reason the DML has
been so successful of a place over the years. Members here are mostly
geeks by trade, and people who are actually intelligent and have the
ability to form coherant sentances, and even take that a step further
and create cohearant paragraphs and then, pages of cohearant text.
Something about tech people makes us want to *really* know what's going
on I guess. Weird now that I think about it.
