James,
Rust was the culprit on my line too. I was very suprised to see how much
rust build-up was on all of the lines (fuel too).
I don't think you can get them pre made. My research and internet search
discovered that you have to bend and/or make them yourself.
I'm thinking about getting a 25' roll of 3/16 tubing (leaves some for future
repairs) and make my own line.
Good luck!! I'll pass on any information that I find out that may be of use
to you.
Garret
Garret,
Did you make any headway on the repair? I looked into the Poly Armor stuff
but my local Napa doesn't carry it. The girl at Napa told me on the phone
that they have the lines pre made with flares and fittings in different
lengths. I'll just have to carefully hand bend them myself. The only bend
I might need a tool is in the line from the combo valve to the front
splitter. There's an extremely tight "U" turn in it.
Let me know what your plans are.
Thanks,
James
