Hello fellow Stude-fans.
I have a '54 Commander w/232-V8. It was missing the fuel pipe between the pump and carb (Stromberg WW). I located a P/N (532567) but nobody seems to have it. I tried Studebaker Parts and Studebaker INTL. A couple of other club members told me that I need to make one myself. I've never worked with steel tubing before. I bought 1/4" brake line, a tubing bender and double-flare kit. I bent the line, and now I need to flare the ends. I've been practicing with the flare tool. I've been told that I need to double-flare the ends, but all of the pre-fabricated brake lines that I find in the store are a "standard flare" only. Is a double flare required? Anybody have any tricks to double-flaring? I seem to be able to make a nice standard flare, but the double flare doesn't come out so nice.
Thanks,
Tony
