Default Need some help Deleted ABS (Flare????)

I'm getting ready to try and finish my car after she's been sitting since the cage went in. I deleted my ABS and I have my line lock and proportion valve, but I can't get my flares to look like the factory. I have a Matco double flare tool, I can make them look nice, just not look the factory. Will double flares work or will they leak? All I like is the nitrous wiring, mounting the seats, and putting the gas tank back in to get this thing back to the track. Need some help...

What do you mean they do not look like 'Factory'?

if you mean as in the very end of the flare, then i dont think you can, if it is straight, double flared, and not misshapen, then you should be fine.

I used a Matco Master Flaring Tool kit to get mine to work. Like said above, post some pics.

Sounds good. I can get my double flares to look great, I just can't duplicate the factory "bubble" flare. I guess I'm just second guessing myself, but brakes are something I don't wanna overlook....

The factory flares called a bubble flare or so I have been told. They aren't inverted like a double flare.
