fuel lines
ok so i am putting in my fuel lines at the momment.
my question is whats the best way to cut steel braid line? i was told to get a hack saw with a 32 or high tooth count and that would work fine but it seem that i get all the way threw just fine and at the end it always screws up. i use eletrical tape were i want to cut also.
the other question is any tips of tricks to get them to go into the actual fitting?
thanks justin

I never had no trouble with a hack saw but you gota tape it good...I use masking tape wrapped several times around. Also get a set of aluminum safe jaws for your vise that are made for the AN fittings...makes it easier.

Best way is the thinnest cut-off wheel possible. I use a .045" thick wheel all the time after giving it a couple wraps of electrical tape. Really wouldn't even need the tape it cuts so neat.
