ive been trying to do the brake pipes on my kit car, and have been using this flaring kit:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PIPE-FLARING-TOOL-KIT-SET-10...

but almost every one i have done has gone off centre, and a poor dome, and almost guarenteed to not seal properly if i were to fit them.


so would a tool like this be better: http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/brake-pipe-flaring-kit-...

or any other recomendations?

its 3/16 copper pipe im using.

cheers

Use Kunifer, it's better.

I use one of these, works lovely but not cheap.
