ok, had a look at the thread on this, which seems to have gone dormant

i need to redo all brakes and fuel lines so this is what i'm looking at

 

the tool

$22

the cutter

$8

now, the benders are interesting

i think this one for doing large diameter

$16

and this one for the tigher

whooping $50,

now as i can tell, there are all sorts of bends and radiuses on the line - 90 degree, 120 etc, so I'm not actually sure on the best combos

also a couple of questions for the experts

1.what's the 45 degrees vs 37 degrees about?

2. how many meters will i need for the whole car (3/16 and 3/8 for fuel)

thank you

I also bought a better flaring tool as i wanted to do everything. I have used the hand ones and vowed never to do it again but it all adds up fast.

Brake lines use a 45' double flare. 37' refers to AN fittings like this

AN only use a single flare as well. 

Unsure on how big your budget is but AN fittings add up fast. I just went this path and my account is still hurting. This is only half of what i bought

You should also buy a flare spanner if u haven't got one either. As for length i am unsure what a zed would need but i used about 7 odd M's on my K
