[Tigers] oil ine

My failure on a plastic line, that had about 2 hours in use,  was the line (on the engine end) pulled off the fitting.   Original plastic line had lasted 40+ years and is still on the block that is stored.   Mark L

                I went with the stock look, no surprise there I guess.

I’m not sure the stainless steel style line was available way back then.

 

I happened to be in a Hydraulic line shop and notice a bulk box of black plastic tubing that looked exactly the stock tubing and it had a 3000 psi burst pressure.

The hardest part was heating the plastic line and inserting the fittings.

 

40 some years now.   So it’s your chose; original style or stainless.
