Not Ranked
On the fuel flare, I thought I was the only person to cheat the stainless to AN.
With the seam, I couldn't get a regular AN flare to seal, so I played with it and did a double flare (I think those are 45 degrees) then "fixed the angle with an AN (37 degree, but going from memory I may have the 2 swapped) flair tool.
I had quite a bit of these. My car is EFI and I wanted all fuel lines except a few feet for flex from the frame to engine to be 3/8" stainless. I didn't trust aluminum tube to not workharden then crack. At 40psi, a crack can spray a LOT of fuel.
So, were you able to find a tool to make a double AN flare, did you correct the angle with a second flare tool, or just leave the flare the wrong angle?
Thanks for all the pics. Glorious!
