Rick,

I don't know much about the double wall flare, but I bought a Parker=20 Hannifin flaring tool and it did a flawless job of flaring the brake=20 lines. It seemed like a good compromise between the really inexpensive= =20 tools and the $500+ tools.

I think improper technique and incorrectly fitting and securing the tub= ing=20 in the aircraft are more likely causes of brake line failures.

I also used the fitting seals on my flared tubing connections.
