Matt AS a A&P and instructor, those lines that look good are more than likely
good. The whole trick is not to overtight the b nuts. U should be fine. Everything
I see is looking great!

Subject: RV8-List: Reusing 3/8" Flares...
Dear Listers,
I pulled out all of the fuel selector valve and fuel pump goodies from the old
fuselage today. I disassembled all of the various flare ends and cleaned up all
the Fuel Lube with lacquer thinner making sure not to get any in the pump or
valve or transducers. All but two of the fuel lines seem to be reusable and
don't show any signs of damage from the Mishap. I really don't want to have
to recut, rebend, and reflare all of these if I don't have to.
What's the common knowledge on reusing the flares on the fuel and brake lines?
Am I just asking for a bunch of leaks if I put these back into service now that
I've unscrewed them?
Thanks!
Matt

Hi Stan- I'm still in the IND area.
I've also been hanging om to a cracked canopy in case someone else cold use it.
No takers yet, but the windscreen is good
