no reason to be afraid of a bubble flare, they are not that hard to make, and the tool can be had cheaply.

I can't seem to locate a bubble flare-er
Link me ?
Local auto parts stores are retarded ( I work at one)
and summit was no help.
----------
Even if I could locate a 1/4" pre-flared line, that would be sweet, and workable, but alas, 3/16" is all I can find around here.

i believe you need metric 6mm

this is the one i bought, used it a few times and despite its total cheeeepness it worked great! still have it.

I went through the same thing, you ask the guy at the parts counter for a "bubble flare tool" and they look at you cross-eyed, and everybody i asked at the time told me they were a real beotch to make and the tools were very $$$$.
