Valiant Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Have you got a double flare kit? If you do just start to push the first part of the double flare into your tube as normal, push it in about 3 turns back off and see how it looks. It won't come out like those ones, they have been machined but it does work perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Thats an unusual size, I,ve never come across 7/16th fuel line. What car is it on? the photo looks like 1/4 and 3/8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'm pretty confident it will be 3/8. Personly I would upgrade my flaring tool, see about a good pipe bender while you're at it. 3/8 can be a prick to bend neatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
