One thing to remember about replacing the air lines is the pressure
rating, typically, the hoses you find at Ace or Home depot are only
rated to 150psi. The Bricklin system (all the components) are rated 
to 300psi. The operating pressure of the air system is around 150psi, 
so if you get the Ace stuff, you're pushing the limits.

        Yup.  My doors are seriously leaking now, and the leak is not easily
found with the old soap and water trick.  Is it such a bad idea to just
replace all the air hoses and connection fittings?  It seams like that
wouldn't be very hard, and it would probably solve the problem.  I know you
have all encountered this situation before - so I am open to advice.  If I
do that, where would I get that hose stuff?  ACE Hardware?  

thanks.Dave
