Lonnie, I've never used Stainless lines myself but I don't think a regular flaring tool will flare stainless. I've done lots of steel brake lines in my day & I invested in a very expensive Rigid flaring tool & even it slips from time to time when flaring regular steel tubing...I can't imagine anything hand operated that will flare SS. I think if you want SS you will need to buy the lines pre-bent & pre-flared which will be a bit of a problem once you alter the Master Cylinder arrangement. I'm sure it's all possible but it will be lots more work.
Just use steel line with Silicone fluid...I doubt you'll ever need to replace them again.
Good Luck with those LA drivers!
