    Brake line tools for Euro DIN style flares

    This will do the DIN ends even though the literature does not mention that specifically. The dies have one end for flare and the other is flat for the DIN. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HOXH242?tag=atomicindus08-20 https://m.media-amazon.com/images/G/01/apparel/rcxgs/tile._CB483369110_.gif

    Sagging cables

    Yup Sitting on the locks. I have added a cross piece to help some with the "droop", but doesn't help much. If it were leaking into the cylinder, I'd expect oil level to drop, and then oil would blow out thru the air relief while raising.

    1972 Alfa Romeo GT Junior Restoration

    IIRC, my FIATs with webers need a high volume low psi fuel pump (in the 4psi range). That has seemed to work pretty well. I imagine the folks at Pierce Manifold my have some thoughts as well. Erik A
