 Sorry if it came across that way. I get a little wound up about that situation; I have seen far too many people single flare brake lines and call it good.

I used to work at a forklift dealer, one of the techs wrestled a double flare for an hour and then he said the heck with it, single flared the line and put it together. On his test drive through the shop he hit the brakes, the flare blew apart and he hit a concrete block retaining wall.
