Musclerodz is correct. and yes, seamless means no visible seam!

You must have a better flaring tool than I do! You have leak tested your flares...right?

No I have not leak tested anything yet, I still have to finish the lines. If they do leak then I will just take them to our local tube/hose store and have them duplicate and hydraulic flare them.

I have thought about your first question and not sure I can come up with the correct answer. Same size tubing (ID) and smaller OD due to increased wall size....It might increase peddle pressure...Let me do some more research....I guess if you have extra, I would re-do the rear end in the same size and OD tubing.....Make sure to plumb in a bias adjuster.

Just an FYI, McMaster Carr is a good place to get seamless tubing. Their prices are relatively cheap.

Standard single flare, I was told that you don't have to double flare SS.
