engine and drivetrain She lives!!!

[OttoF]

After much use of the search function, and replacing all hoses, fuel, clamps, bushings, and all other rubber parts, my 73 fired right up. She had been in storage for 20+ years, and idled perfectly right away.I did a compression test as well 118-120 on all 4 cylinders, engine cold. Pleasantly consistent, the gauge isn't calibrated so I don't know if the psi is correct but consistency on a 74,000 mile engine (original) is OK in my book.

Next step is going to be brakes, the front calipers keep sticking, and I don't trust any of the lines, even some of the hard lines. Anyone know what type of flare BMW used, where I might find the flaring tool, and a good source for the hard line (stainless?) and fittings?
