As the post says I need to borrow some early hydro lines off someone in Sydney so I can use as a template. I realised all the bits I have with cut off or broken sections won’t do. Pm or txt 0418 263 295 Thanks Matt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Are you going to make new lines ? They are difficult to make I made new lines last year .If I ever had to make them again I would make each line in 2 parts then join them with a flair joint and blue tip silver solder ,Which is the silver solder used in refrigeration, Allen |

Pirtek is correct they will cost $$$ to make If you buy a small tube bender you can make them yourself .Takes a bit of time my hydro lines fit better than the original especially where they meet the ends of the floor .The Bundy tube is readily available from a brake supplier. Anyone know how much Pirtek charge ? |

P7676 - I know of people who have been looking for this material but have only found brittle version that can't be bent easily. What is yours called and where did you get it? |

I bought the 3/8 bundy tube from First Choice Automotive Parts, Part number T348 cost me $8.00 per m. They have 3 locations Cardiff NSW 49542744.You cut it to the size you need it comes in a large roll,allow an extra 60mm for double flares,4 double flares cost me $10.00 and any extra length can be taken up under the rear of the car. I bought a tube bender for $37.00 which does 3 different size tubes. The secret in bending is to buy an extra metre of tube then using this scrap tube you can calculate where to start the bends, The radius is the same on the old hydro lines .The tube is malleable like brake lines and if you bend the tube too far jut pull it back using your hands. You also need to keep checking the hydro line on the car .I used to screw the front of the line into the connection then check that allows you to twist the line if necessary. You develop a skill for bending them I found them hard to bend with a beer in one hand .Hot Rodders use this tube all the time. Hopes this helps you will need good skills to bend the lines as I said my lines fit better than the original ones. I am ex Experimental from BMC P7676 I did not want to install my old contaminated lines on the C.S NO leaks pumped up great. |
