Fred,

 

I’m with Greyhawk here.  I’m getting close to finishing my build, been raising and lowering the gear like crazy in tests, just as happy as I can be.  Until I got looking at this document you passed around.

 

Now I am pulling all my Hydraulic lines and redoing them, again, for the third time.

 

Thanks to you, I’m going to have a lovely weekend indeed.  J

 

On a serious note, I do wish to thank you for the work you did in putting this together.  It’s nice having some clear instruction on this.  I’ve been using the plumbers cutter and a tool that supposedly says it does a perfect flare every time.  I used a de-burring tool, but didn’t file them. 

 

Unfortunately, I didn’t know what a perfect flare was until I read your article.  Now I do, and it (the tool) doesn’t.

 

*sigh*
