    Hey Guys,

    I know there are a multitude of mutliskilled amongst you.

    On Sydney's northern beaches, closest industrial area is Brookvale.

    Need to make some brake lines Supercheap has the tool, but online only, and time is of the essence as the flu has had me out of action for over a week.

    This one is the go need the DIN/Metric one http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/Brake-Pipe-Flaring-Tool/543055 -
    It's only available online with supercheap for delivery and wouldn't you know it, when I tried to buy one last night it went out of stock.
    Any suggestions one where else to look, walk in store wise...

    I'm also going to need 4.75mm bundy pipe and the metric flare nuts so if anyone has suggestions on who to try.
    I'm thinking Repco may be a go, but their website...well...

    If I can't find the stuff locally it's on ebay so I may end up gong that way

    Any Auto One stores near you? Supercheap down the road from me have the tool, I have noticed it when there.....another option might be Burson’s if there is one your way...

    @Andych Good suggestions - I think I'm going to have to do a little driving or get on the phone - too used to using websites to know beforehand if something is available.

    Supercheap have other double flare tools, but recommendation was to get the one I linked to deal properly with kunifer brake pipe as copper isn't legal.

    Bursons in Brookvale
    Auto One in Chatswood

    Now for brake pipe and flare nuts...

    Update on this - tried Repco no luck, tried TLC Automotive - no luck, tried Bursons - no luck, tried Enzed - no luck, so ended up at Supercheap to see what they had in stock...one and one only

    Does double flare on steel brake pipe just fine

    Guess what I'm doing this weekend, and it doesn't involve exotic dancers :( :( :(
