Hello all,
Finally picked up a second core and had some more engine oil lines made.
On the gauge line that goes from the block to the frame rail they cut off
the old fittings, brazed on new modern ferules and crimped them to new
stainless braid covered line. To keep the original look I had them install some
tubing over the braided line and reinstall the original spring cover. That way it
looks very close to the original. For the 2L flex line that connects the
block to the distributor they cut off the original fittings and brazed on new
ferules. Then crimped them onto new stainless braid covered line. They used 1/4"
inch line so they are thinner than the original and cosmetically different.
Both are rated for a thousand PSI or so and should last about forever.
I have two of the distributor lines and one of the gauge lines. The
cost is $45 exchange. I must get your old ones back in order to have more to
rebuild. Also, if anyone has any old lines that they could donate it would be
appreciated. As I get cores I'll have them done and pass them along at my cost.
