That was my thought, too. I've done my dad's van brake lines from straight tubes before and it was a bear (they were "preflared" though).
And jeez guys, sorry if my logic isn't perfect ... I just like to be extra sure when it come to parts my life depends on. Sometimes people with more experience than I have think of things I wouldn't have thought of ... so it seems worth asking.
