I bought my flaring kit from Chevpac Machinery in Auckland for $39.20

Autostop do fittings and hard line, but I think they're auckland only.

look in the yellowpages or NZ Hosedoctors have franchise holders nation wide.
for tools, DONT EVER buy cheap tools. EVER!!

If yuh, do, when you report that it broke on first use, we will all gang up on you and laugh like SHIT!! so there.

Buy the best your money can buy at the time.

Hi Mike, for brake lines (pipe) try BNT, or SafeRbrakes, both will help you light'n your pocket. Check the quality of the pipe as some of it has a seam that is inclined to split when flared. The flaring tool ? do you want to buy or borrow? PM me if you want to borrow one.

think i may have to take you up on that offer smokey, I just live around the corner from you and will only need it to put the rear brake lines on the LR.

Cheers for the info on the brake line suppliers as well.

Make sure that you make the correct flare, there is a single or a double flare.

Seen a pipe flaring tool at Supercheap, don't know about quality but if it does the job there shouldn't be too much that could go wrong....
