This Poly Armour tubing hasn't shown the first indication of wanting to crack or split. Haven't gotten to the leak check portion yet, but the flares this Mastertool inc. hydraulic tool makes look flawless. For cutting the tubing, I just chuck it lightly in a vise, and put a hack saw to it. Then I smooth the end with a fine tooth file. Tap it a couple times with end down to knock out any filings, and it's ready to flare. Did I mention this tool works well? E-Z! Inasmuch as it is hard to justify this much for a single tool, which I may never use again, what price can you put on easy!?

The rear lines I bent up went in place with minimal tweaking. I bent them to match the old lines, only used a bending tool to make a U on one line. Stuff bends easy, doesn't try to kink.

I am thinking the stainless nuts were a real good idea, regardless that the stainless tubing was a bust. The dark grey finish of the lines looks nice against the rust and GA red clay on the chassy.
