need help with bubble flare brake lines
I have a friend with an early '60's Austin Healy "Bugeye" Sprite -
He sheared one of the brake lines and needs someone with the right tool to bubble flare the ends for him -
As far as I know, only European autos and maybe early American (Model A or so) use bubble flares as opposed to double flares -
Does anyone know of a local shop that does this kind of stuff?

We found a friend that has the bubble flare tool. He belongs to the local British car club and has restored several British cars. So I'm good now.

Yep - I didn't really realize that most European cars used this as a standard much later than domestic cars -
The last time I maybe used bubble flares was on an old '29 Ford hot rod a buddy was building.
