RE: IML: '62 Brake Line Questions

[<DickB@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think that may be a typo in the manual. Brake tubing is single wall, but
it is always "DOUBLE FLARED" tubing, which does take a special flaring tool.

Subject: IML: '62 Brake Line Questions


In the service manual for the '62 models it says "Double tubing should
always be used to insure long life and corrosion resistance."  Does anyone
know just what "Double Tubing" means?  I measured the OD of the existing OEM
tubing and it appears to be about 0.195 to 2.00 inches.  Perhaps they mean
double clad or double plated (inside and out) tubing?  Or do they mean
double wall tubing?

It is close to time to replace the brake lines as I work on restoring the
brake system.

Thanks.
