Are these flares good enough?

[88sclb350]

Working on my 88 k1500 and needs new brake lines and I like doing work myself but never done brake lines.
My step one of the flare does not seem to go down straight now matter how hard I try it ends up going off to one side.
I lube everything up and be very careful to be level with everything. Will these lines works or do I need to keep practicing on my supply. I just want to be safe. Thank you

Make sure that the tubing is cut square AND the cut is flat. I use a small file the clean off the tubing cutter burr , Also sure that it is deburred on the ID.

If you are using cupro nickel tubing those flares will most likly seal.

Almost like a Latin version of copper nickel huh?

they look like they will seal fine

Cupronickel is an alloy made up of copper (60-90%) and strengthening elements such as iron and manganese.1 It has excellent resistance to corrosion, pitting and erosion, strength, workability and weldability.

It comes from the designations of the different metals and elements on the periodic table. Many of these have Latin or Greek roots....
