Putting in power brakes (how to cut and mend a brake line)

[TerryMason]

I'm putting power brakes on my CJ, and it looks like the nuts that screw into the new master cylinder are a different size than the old ones. So, I need to find some new screws that are the correnct size, and then but the old brake lines, put the new screws on, and then flare out the lines. Is there an easy way to do this? Any tools that you guys can think of?

Thanks,
Terry

i would get new brake lines w/ the correct fitting.... no use in ''engineering'' on something like brakes
