[s-cars] DYI fuel line replacement BTDTs?

[Vincent Fregeac]

Hi,

As Mike mentionned, I have applied the "metal and rubber" technique on the
90, replacing the rotted parts with high pressure rubber tubing and clamps.
I think I've done this more than 5 years ago and so far so good.

On the S6 I went the all metal route as I wanted a clean aspect... under the
car, go figure! Anyway, instead of buying a flaring tool to rebuild the
entire line, I just cut the straight line parts which run under the body and
used brass fitting and 5/16 SS line which fit just perfect.

Gents (Any Ladies lurking?)

Spending time this past weekend under the Mrs' Avant and my 90 have led me 
to the conclusion that I will have to replace fuel lines and likely some 
brake lines in the not too distant future.

For laughs I called Mac at Clair Parts and he said that the factory lines 
are about $240 EACH for the supply and return lines on the CQ.

For that money I can buy a really good bubble flare tool and lots of hard
line.

So, any recommendations, BTDT for the tools and the line material?
