Steel braided brake lines... How do I install fittings?

[gsdapollo]

Do any of you guys know how to install fittings to a steel braided brake line? Im lookin to add a pair to my front brakes but they are a bit pricey buying them pre-made? Any ideas would be great. THanks!!

You need something like this:

If they are the grimp style fittings you need a brake hoses grimping tool. If they are the K7 Fittings like the Galfer ones, the Banjos screw into the brake likes. What bike are they for? We do alot of custom kits for the vintage bikes with Spiegler rake Lines.

The stock ones are crimped on with 12mm banjo fittings in an 1/8 ID hose. I just ordered the same size steel braided hose with AN 3 fittings to accept new AN style 12mm banjo fittings. That should all work correct as they just screw into each other, right? No PUN intended lol....
