Does anyone know if kent moore sells individual parts for their tool kits?
A while back I got a J-29803 brake flare kit, used. The 3/16 collet to hold brake line while flaring must have been slipping, so the PO decided the way to remedy this was to beat the **** out of it with a chisel. So it works now, but it leaves some serious gouges in any brake line it clamps, so it's not ideal.
I think I'll probably try and clean it up but is it possible to buy just the collet/die?
Looks like the PN should be J-29803-3
This is what the kit looks like for those interested. Put the brake line in the collet, put the collet in the big thing, clamp it down. Put the die behind the drive bolt there, turn it down. Seems like a better design than the $15 two bar clamp style everyone seems to carry.
It does metric bubble flares for 4mm and (6mm??) line, so I thought it would be useful to make lines for some of my german cars - and evidently some GM cars too, being kent moore.
