Patrick & group,
That MUST have been several years ago - I recently priced out all three
lines from Pegasus and others - Pegasus was lowest price I could find.
For reference, here are the Pegasus part #'s and current prices for
everything needed to do a Roadster:
3265-12 -3AN>3/8-24IFF $4.49
3265-26 -3AN>3/8-24male use with crush washer $4.39
3-16-S-S 16"-3AN with swivels both ends $14.99
3241-3/8 3/8 crush washer $0.79
$24.66 each x 3 = $73.98
