Fab Left & Right Brake Lines

I unrolled 2-pieces of ¼" aluminum tubing to fabricate the left and right brake lines.  I straightened the tubing by cutting it to length and using a piece of 1x4 plank I rolled the tubing on the work bench.  Both pieces came out pretty straight.  I then used the flaring tool to flare one end of each tube.  I then installed the fittings and flared the other end.  The brake lines a now ready to be bent and installed on the airplane.
