ISO flare not double flare.

I did this repair on my X about 2 years ago. You can buy all three parts for about $50, the tools for about $40 and the pressure bleeder for about $50-60.

There are a pair of fittings right below the left hand driver seat and about 7-9' of line from there to the fittings at the rear left.

I posted my method to exactly copy three existing 11 or so bends in the current pipe. And also how to greatly improve the ISO (bubble) flare tool that is not completely finished from the factory.
