ddavis Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 My flaring tools accept to 3/16", and I have not located a tool that does 1/8. My 1932 Studebaker has a 1/8 vacuum advance line and the original fittings are flare. I can chuck a drill bit and run it in reverse and get OK flare but it is weak and would need to be annealed- must be a better way- ideas anyone?

Reynard Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Harbor Freight Tools lists a number of flaring tools. This one can flare 1/8" tubing: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1041729837142950/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ad9dd76a6-ec98-4ea4-8d00-cc2feb3d39db There's even a less expensive one on Amazon. Do a search. You might be able to rent one from a tool rental yard or an auto parts store in your area and save a few bucks.

Rusty_OToole Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Auto parts stores have tools to rent or to loan. Your local store may have what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
