Hi,

I have just started doing this on mine. This is what I bought;

3/16-inch Diameter Brake Pipe
Male 3/8-inch Brass Brake Pipe Fittings (10pcs)
Coiled Tube Straightener - Brake Pipe Straightening Tool (3/16" OD)
Hand Held 3/16-inch SAE Brake Pipe Flaring Tool Set

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Simon
